I'm also particularly disturbed that you refused to put the Rollingstone PTA on the agenda for Thursday because you were "too busy with other things." I don't know what you are talking about Mr. Gaffron. I did not receive such a request. Perhaps the Rollingstone community could encourage Stockton and Minnesota City parents to support WAPS again. I continue to hear about how we closed their schools. This was a generation ago Dick. I do not understand this grudge so it is difficult to respond. In regards to my talking about Rollingstone and the WALC, I didnt expect that the idea would be welcome with open arms but I had expected that someone like you would be more constructive in your comments. I am disappointed. > -----Original Message----- > From: richard gaffron [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 11:38 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [School Board] Positive Problem-solvers > > While I totally disagree with you about the use of the Rollingstone > COMMUNITY School for the ALC, I am guessing you are trying to find > ways to utilize all the buildings and get out of leased space.
