I want to take this opportunity to commend Jane for her appropriate and timely response to Susan Casillo’s attempt to create a public relations “smoke screen” over the real issue at hand . .the unjustified and unwarranted dismissal of Jane. Most of you don’t really know me or my background but prior to being in the food business I was for many years an executive in the advertising and media business.

Consequently, I know what Susan and her minions are “really up to” . .I too in the past have advised clients when you don’t have a viable issue to backup their actions create a “diversion” . The simple reason is that they know the public has a short span of attention and by clouding the issue the public looses the focus of the real issue at hand and then eventually the public loses interest all together. My warning to one and all!!!

If Susan succeeds in this case she will feel empowered and I shutter to think what is next on her agenda. Remember Susan has bigger “fish to fry” than being Superintendent of Schools. I have it from reputable sources that she has stated that she aspires to either the highest state wide office or a Congressional office. So don’t kid yourselves she could care less about the long term impact on ODS and the deaf community. I encourage one an all to keep your eye on the prize .

Getting JANE REINSTATED and OSD back on track with a director who has a LIFETIME commitment to education and the deaf community. The latest communication from Ed Dennis is further proof of his continuing contempt for the deaf community and lack of desire to answer the “REAL QUESTIONS” we all have been asking. Needless to say, we can not trust or count on anyone at ODE to assist us so we must now go to the Governor and the chairpersons of both Education committees in the legislative. I have already made contact but we must now “flood” them with requests for their assistance in this matter. Thanks again for all of your support in the past and we must be stronger than ever now to protect our children and the deaf community from these people with their hidden agendas!!! Rob Bartell
