I believe the Clovis Board is in for a real surprise! Parents are already pulling their kids out! And I'm looking into options. One which is Fresno Christian apparently already has a waiting list. Unfortunately, what the clovis board morons forgot is there are a lot of parents in this school system willing to stand by their convictions.

Hit them with your pocketbook! Take your kids out of their school; this will lower the FTE (Full Time Equivalent) and both state and fed money will go down. And the high school will have to lay off teachers, stop music and band, cancel sports, etc. etc.

BTTT your responses. The CUSD board is very top heavy with administrators. Students wishing to participate in the extracurriculor groups must pay a bounty to participate. $500-$1000 dollars each student to be in the band, pep, cheer, even many sports!! I know parents with several kids in high school, who have paid $2-3k to have their kids in band at CUSD. But I am sure there will be no price to pay in the new Gay-Straight Allicance, unless one is unfortunate enough to swap inopportune bodily fluids!! Tragic events!!

Already in the process of taking her out! She does not want to attend Clovis High anymore, she is ashamed of her school and has lost respect for her teachers. What seems to have hurt her the most is that not one of the teachers from Clovis High spoke against having this club on campus.

As far as future support of this school system, I plan on contributing in any way I can to seeing these five board members defeated in future elections. And as long as I live in Clovis I will work to defeat any bond measures for the school system.

Letters have been sent to all 7 board members.

I know I shouldn't be surprised that this was allowed, but I really was. I was more surprised to see how few parents actually attended this meeting and I truly believe this had some impact. Clovis parents are known for participating and supporting their students, but sure fell short in this instance. I am just thankful my daughters interests and extracurricular activities are not tied to her current school. It is nice to see some of the parents standing by their convictions and taking their kids away from this.
