Checking That's Better Than Free. a charter, and the fact that a second petition of demands was also circulated only fur- ther confused and compli- cated things. Parents of nearly 100 students asked to rescind their signatures. On Feb. 21, the Adelanto School District Board of Trustees rejected the trigger attempt, citing the large number of rescis- sions and an even greater number of bad signatures on the submitted petitions. Par- ent Revolution countered a week later with a news conference in which it alleged fraud in the rescission effort and implied that CTA was somehow behind it. These allegations are completely false. As the petition effort began to unravel, Parent Revolution con- tinued making false charges that CTA was running a rescission campaign, even making up stories about "cadres of CTA operatives" being flown into Adelanto from Sacramento. Parents of nearly 100 students asked to rescind their signatures. Petition backers have addi- tional time to correct prob- lems on their petitions, and it will be up to the school board to determine if they have met the legal threshold and how to proceed from there. But regardless of the outcome, this second attempt to pull the parent trigger spotlights what a divisive law it is and how, instead of helping parents implement reform at a struggling school, it pits them against each other in a sometimes bitter battle that is more like a political campaign than a step forward for the school. In both places it's been tried, the parent trigger law has had awful consequences for the involved com- munities. Let's hope lawmakers learn from their mistake.
