Compton School Board Trustee files complaint against UC Regents
Compton Unified School Board President Micah Ali has took a dramatic step to level the playing field for high school graduates. He has filed a lawsuit, as a resident, against the UC Regents to alleviate perceived civil rights violations with the ACT and SAT college admissions tests.
Complaint-12-10-19“Right is right and just is just. I am proud to stand with my district and others to call for the College Board and the University of California system to do better … to figure out a better way. The current use of ACT/SAT scores is not only an affront to equity, it has created an unintended consequence of making elite our own public system of higher education. I pose the question: Is there not a better assessment of a student’s ability to succeed than a tear score reflecting one day? Should one have to engage tutors to pass a test that is supposed to measure the sum total of their academic journey? I believe the answer is clear and I believe these entities possess the knowledge, know-how and wisdom to ideate a better way.”

The same goes for the members of the school board who leech on the community and are only concerned about posting their lousy picture on websites to feed their narcissism. You will be voted out….and you must go!!!
What we have seem recently in the media, testifies that even parents have to pay monetarily for their son or daughter to pass these exams! Unfortunately, that isn’t the case here! There are many students who succeed well in college without these exams!
Many students perform well in a class setting, but are not good test takers!

On Another Concern:
Citizens of this community need to be proactive in addressing the conditions of this city…
The potholes (channel 2) even addressing the potholes;
the trash, code violations not addressed…one house on my block has six to nine cars parked and that is just for one house!! While councilpersons are just sitting on the podium at their regular meeting collecting taxpayers’
money and making deals while citizens are
watching the decay of this City! The City Manager is paid top dollar!
When other cities are receiving high dollar value when a house is sold in their area, this city receives the basic monetary value because of the condition of the community and the location and lack of maintenance in the Districts. Next election, we will get rid of You!!!
Easy come, easy go!!!
