Coming from the Murrieta school district, I reques...
Coming from the Murrieta school district, I requested my two children be allowed to continue /transferred to the school from which they were originally attending, which was denied citing that Menifee could provide the necessary education required. Seriously?! So I would have to fight the district or let it go. I have never heard of a school district not supporting the preferred location for education providing the destination has the resources and the room to accommodate the child. So that tells me they are just trying to fill classrooms for budgetary reasons.
The second issue is the horrendous quality of the food served in the schools within Menifee. Again comparing to Murrieta, the food quality and options are night and day between the two districts. The district states the food meets certain nutritional requirements. That doesn't mean the food is good. Now if your own staff won't eat the food, why would the children attending think it's all that better.
Both these issues boil down to fiscal management. I hope the district finds a way to make the necessary funds so that they don't have to deny a parents request for a district transfer and that the quality of food meets some of the surrounding cities. Parents also lost bus transportation in 2016 for thier students, again because of funding issues. There were also threats of teachers striking.
So again the district had to come up with additional resources to quiet the selfish teachers who would rather have the extra funds aquired go into thier pockets than providing buses, better quality food and new technology for the classrooms. Bravo, teachers of Menifee, bravo! Now this is just the perspective of a parent looking at the schools and district from the outside. I may not have all the facts but it sure seems like the reasons I gave are why I have had such a difficult time since moving to Menifee.
