Dan Kelly's Response to the CAC Questionnaire

Dan Kelly's response to the Community Advisory Committee for Special Education's questionnaire for BOE candidates has been published in the SfSchools.org document collection.

All responses have been linked into our Election Info page for your convenience.

I'll include one quote from Dan's replies here:

District Staff have to comply with reams of often contradictory reporting and verification procedures that exist in State and Federal Law, and sometimes in Board Policy. The failure to cross those T's or dot those I's can be dramatic loss of funds and services. This means that he flip side of Entrenched Bureaucracy is Administrative Accountability and Political Oversight.

Understanding this does not mean we accept it, and it is our job as Board members to hear the concerns and impediments that bureaucracy creates and try to reduce them wherever we can. In part, that is why we have a CAC for Special Ed, that is why we have open meetings and take testimony on new concerns at every meeting. Thatis one of the reasons I ran for office and still enjoy serving.
