What is the HSA's relationship with CLS?  Isn't CLS offering a discount to families that also sign up for FLEX?  Isn't FLEX the provider that the HSA contracted with this year to provide LEP?  Wasn't LEP historically run by a parent-volunteer?  Does anyone know what happened to that parent volunteer this year?  There seems to be a pattern here.[/quote]

While I am with you on the validity of some of these questions, the discount for signing up with FLEX offered by CLS is minimal at best and frankly necessary.

I keep mentally circling back to the underlying problem being communication/transparency problems.  Saying there's no contract (just a use agreement) is a great example.  The administration keeps using "political" tricks (partial information, legalistic wording, deflection, "blue ribbon" commissions, hiding things in committee, etc) that way too many of us know (and use) from our outside lives which causes trust problems (because we know these techniques in a different context).  I'd hate to be a principal here but a lot of this is avoidable and unnecessary.  Trust the parents, be open and honest, and good things will happen.  Realize that this district is unique.  The danger, unlike other schools, is not from the insider clique but the "outsiders".

LAP messed up but instead of forcing a reform of LAP it was destroyed (which not only lets LAP of the hook it changes the focus to the administration).[/quote]
