Man, and his family, on a mission to Uganda
Comments on Stories, posted by , a resident of , on Jul 13, 2010 at 9:42 am

When Paul Gibson lost his job at Hewlett-Packard, he decided on a career move -- half a world away. Gibson said he was "laid off/retired" when HP bought out Electronic Data Systems (EDS), and at the same time his wife, Janet, decided to move to Jinja, Uganda, to work full-time with the Children of Grace organization.

This is unacceptable. This family should be reported. A child cannot attend school when not residing in this boundary, not to mention the boundary of the country. Just as for F-1 visas, just because you pay property taxes in the area does not justify school placement as they are not physically residing there.

Venture is not an online school. As a citizen of this community, I will be reporting this to the WASC accreditation, to the county of education, and all applicable agencies, for audit and review. I will also contact IRS. As well I will contact the UC system to see how many students used that for faking residency requirements, besides that everything they teach in Venture is a fraud. Who knows what profit SRVUSD is making using federal and state money committing international student fraud?

What a disgrace of our school district.

Steven Enoch, should be responding to my concerns as a citizen, and rectify with the Danville Express that he will not allow a student who is out of the country a placement in SRVUSD, and receive federal and state funding for a student not even in the US.

If Danville Express deleted my posting, I will still be reporting these people and the school district to all the agencies applicable.
