This is an indictment of the FSD leadership under Dr. Pletka. Please note that after both Joe and myself spoke at the FSD Board meeting directing our comments to Dr. Pletka, he as well as the Board of Trustee members, and the other management team members present would not address our concerns as part of the official meeting and did not even have the courtesy of telling us that they would be contacting us to deal with this shortly. The arrogance of our school district leaders is very frightening and it is totally unacceptable. But Board of Trustee Member CHRIS THOMPSON did say on the record that I was full of crap after I spoke and that he would be joyous to prove me wrong. What is your problem Mr. Thompson? An apparent loose cannon about to go off at any moment.
P.S. A note to all my readers that I am considering all options to hold Dr. Pletka, Chris Thompson and the entire FSD accountable for all the above.
THE COMMENTARY BELOW IS BY JOE IMBRIANO
I would like to first give credit to Barry Levinson for showing extreme patience in dealing with the FSD staff as they literally thumbed their noses at the facts that they have been REPEATEDLY provided. The city council stood down as the city attorney lied to them and repealed a solid law that protected children AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RAISED THE STAKES AND DOUBLED DOWN AS THEY PUT OUT A SECOND TEXT TO ALL PARENTS THAT IS, EGREGIOUSLY ERRONEOUS, TO SAY THE LEAST.
AFTER BARRY CLEARLY PROVIDED FACTUAL INFORMATION THAT CONFLICTS WITH THE BULL CRAP THAT THE DISTRICT PUT OUT TO THE PARENTS. THE STUDENTS ARE MORE IN HARMS WAY NOW THAN EVER BEFORE. THE LOCAL ORDINANCE THAT ACTED A S A DETERRENT TO PEDOPHILES IS GONE FOLKS .
THE FSD’S VERY OWN PRESS RELEASE PROVES THAT THE STATE LAW’S ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN CONTINUALLY WEAKENED AND, IN THE ABSENCE OF BARRY’S LAW AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, THE ONLY THING PROTECTING THE CHILDREN IS THEIR PARENTS. THE LAWS PROTECT PEDOPHILES AND THE NEGLIGENT BEHAVIOR OF THE DISTRICT IGNORING THE FACTS PUTTING OUT FALSE HOPE TO PARENTS IS UNCONSCIONABLE.
HERE IS THE PRESS RELEASE FROM THE DISTRICT

It is so very sad that our Fullerton School District after being told of their egregious error, still has not done the right thing. The very false assurances that the FSD gave to all parents in the district very shortly after the repeal of Ordinance 3149 must be corrected immediately. It should now be a no brainer for the district to make a retraction and to give the parents accurate information on this. I certainly have given Dr. Pletka all the background information necessary to bring him up to speed on the issue via direct email to him and two appearances at FSD board meetings. The facts are that because the Fullerton City Council in February 2017 decided to repeal the ordinance, there no longer are penalties in place that would make it a misdemeanor crime for a Convicted Child Sex Offender to move into a residence in Fullerton within 2,000 feet of a school, park, day-care center or pre-school. My question is why won’t they do the right thing and retract their erroneous false assurances they previously sent out to all the parents throughout the FSD? By the way the City of Fullerton through official statements made by the FPD (at about the same time period as the erroneous message that was sent out by the FSD), have claimed that the children are still being protected by the State Law, Jessica’s Law and that is also not true since the City Council repealed Ordinance 3149. My last question is why is it so darn hard to get our local government officials whether it be the FSD or the City of Fullerton to state the truth on this very important safety issue for all our children? Anyone who has children living in Fullerton or who just cares about children should be very concerned about this issue. It would seem that after all my efforts to provide the facts to both the FSD and the City of Fullerton at city council meetings as well that maybe just one council member or one member of the Board of Trustees for the FSD or the FSD Superintendent would on the record make these corrections. We are living in dangerous times. It seems we are getting to the point that for some elected and appointed public officials it would be hard to reach agreement on when it is night vs. day. Maybe they believe that they have the power and the microphone to supersede the truth. I for one am here to remind them that I will not allow them to do this on my watch!
