Please read this blog. We elected you. We're watching you. We want you to be courageous in all your decision-making to solve the academic problems this school district faces. Be transparent though. Don't let this school district be taken over by the state. It will be worse off. We don't need squabbles or distractions from within or without.
Elliot Davis is part of the reason the state took over Wellston. Years later it is a shambles. We hear he is coming around to the RGSD board meetings and some of you are feeding him with information! We believe he is setting RGSD for a takeover. He brags on his website that he contributed to the state takeover of Wellston. That is what he and his conservative friends wish for Riverview Gardens School District. Why does Elliott Davis target school districts that predominantly educate African American children and not the white school districts? It was Wellston, then he tried Jennings and backed off after parents and the community fought him back, and now it is RGSD.
If any board member is working with Elliot Davis secretly to let down our children, don't seek re-election. However, you can provide interviews for him not to think there is a cover up.

Parents support our courageous Board of Education.
We are Riverview Gardens School District parents and we support our Board of Education under the able leadership of Rev. Pierson to do whatever it takes to save the takeover of our school district by the state.
We stand by your courageous decisions. Don't be swayed by Elliot Davis and those conservatives whose interest he represents. Elliot Davis can write anything he wants to fatten his pockets but we'll continue to support our board.
Even the state of Missouri is working hand-in-hand with the board to prevent a takeover, which doesn't come cheap for the state, the parents, the children, and the neighborhoods the school a district serves.
Elliot Davis is an advocate for the state to take over Riverview Gardens School District. He paved the way for the state takever of Wellston and look how miserable Wellston School District is right now. Wellston is performing below before the state takeover. Look at St. Louis Public schools. The student achievement is worse than before state takeover.
Elliot Davis sniffed around Jennings before he was shown the door by the parents and concerned citizens. Now he is playing similar games with Riverview Gardens School District. Let's show him the door.
We are as furious as hell. We can't take nonsense from Elliot Davis or any other quarters.
We don't need St. Louis Post-Dispatch or any TV stations to publicize our opposition. We've have our very own home-grown bloggers who will share our concerns with the world in a jiffy.

Why did the Riverview Gardens School District hire a professional management company?
The Riverview Gardens School District Board of Education has been trying to explore all possible solutions to the lack of full accreditation and the possibility of being taken over by the state of Missouri.
One of the many options it pursued to improve student achievement, regain fiscal responsibility, streamline operations, and regain accreditation was to hire a for-profit local company. The company was initially hired to assess and recommend management and academic changes to streamline how the school district operates. After they presented their findings, the firm was hired by the board to implement the recommended academic and management changes. The selection of this firm was done through a fairly transparent process. Federal No Child Left Behind and Misouri Statutes allow a failing school district to hire private firms to help with changes that a school district requires to regain its footing.
Now Mr. Elliot Davis is sniffing around the school district to try to scoop dirt. One of the issues he is focusing on is the hiring of the private firm to shore up academics and management. He thinks the hiring was improper. This couldn't be further from the truth. The board under the able leadership of Rev. Pierson made the right decision. We support them. They did every possible thing in the past and it never worked. What does Mr. Davis and those whose interest he represent expect Rev. Pierson to do? Give up! No way. He and his board made the right decision. We don't care who they hire or what method they use to save the school district! They have to do something to save our children.
We support the decision by Rev. Pierson and his board members 100%. We want the state of Missouri and our elected leaders to know that we stand behind the many hard decisions the board is making to control the situation.
We request Mr. Davis to back off. It was Wellston, then he tried Jennings before parents and other citizens successfully fought back and now it is Riverview Gardens School District. Mr. Davis we intend to fight back at your negative publicity. You want to serve your masters and fatten your pockets by riding on the backs of our children. NO WAY!

Is Elliot Davis a champion of the underdogs as he claims or a mouthpiece of the conservative Fox News Network owned by Rupert Murdoch?
Is Elliot Davis a champion of the underdogs as he claims or a mouthpiece of the conservative Fox Network when it comes to dealing with African American institutions? He is unfairly targeting Riverview Gardens School District, which serves predominantly African American children. Remember Fox Network is owned by Rupert Murdoch, a Right-wing Conservative! Mr. Davis works for KTVI TV-Fox 2 News, an affiliate of Fox Network. Do you connect the dots?
We believe Mr. Davis is a mouthpiece and a tool for the conservative crowd that is pushing for the school privatization and voucher agenda in St. Louis. He targets only school districts that predominantly serve African American children.

Welcome to our blog
This blog was created by Riverview Gardens School District parents to support our hard-working Board of Education in its excellent job to ensure our school district is not taken over by the state of Missouri, improve student achievement, and regain full accreditation. We strongly warn disruptive individuals like Elliot Davis of KTVI TV-Fox 2 News to leave Riverview Gardens School district alone. We know you serve your conservative masters--Fox 2 News and those who want to privatize public schools.
A message to Mr. Davis: Leave our school district alone. Leave our children alone. Our board is trying to sove the problems our children face. We know that you serve the ultra-conservative Rupert Murdoch because you work for him down the food chain. Mr. Davis our blog is more powerful than your biased investigative reporting. We can't believe you graduated from Vashon High School, a landmark historically black high school in St. Louis!
Mr. Davis can spread his propaganda about Riverview Gardens School District and its board but we parents matter the most. We stand behind the decisions made by our Board of Education to save our school district.

(We ask all Riverview Gardens parents to rise up to the occasion by voicing their concerns about the meddling of Elliot Davis in our school district. Send your opinions to this blog).
