*By Leslie Wizan Santa Monica*

To Kenny Mack, Great article in the SMDP — “Lesson Learned,” page 5, May 14\. Please continue to focus your mighty pen against the district, the school administrators, the mute and impotent school board and the teachers union. You spoke for parents throughout the district who are frustrated, angry and disgusted. The Beltran incident is but one of many issues the SMMUSD hasn’t got a handle on, and parent groups throughout the community are smoldering. Thanks for a targeted article.
