Hello everyone!
My name is Carol Taylor, I'm the parent of A Student in Barstow Unified School District: I came to this open public meeting (on behalf of being able to speak openly) here at the "City Council Meeting" taking place in Barstow Ca. City Hall on g-5-25. #1 How would the City Council Board feel being blindsided with "A School District Lawsuit" in their City? that they stand up for and some live in? because the lack of personals of The School District, 3 schools, multiple on site school aides, and 2 I.E.P. coordinators, 2 Principals, multiple one on one Aides, and class aide... There have been so many mistakes done and mistreating plus neglect Not giving my child what her I.E.P. states and meeting her needs (mandatory) by law and regulations! How to accommodate her needs to be able to get her education like every child deserves! Since 2021 my special needs child in a wheelchair has been treated unfairly, done wrong, insulting her, and allowing children to bully her, No one handled the situation timely or fairly. And insulting me as a parent and of my character! by the district personal (Dr.

Williams) on site of the district multiple times. Me being a parent and citizen here in BARSTOW I want the City Council Team to know what's going on in their city and ask WHY so many push this under the RUG and keep going on with their daily life? I would like to ask how the City Councils feels hearing this situation? I will see the faces of the City Councils reaction! and last, but not least! how could these situation's stop!!!!!! Happening in this town? Because the District! against DISABLED children and their parents.

Signed: A parent that will not stop STANDING 10 toes down for her child. CAROL TAYLOR

NO ONE EVER CONTACTED ME TO

SET UP THE MEETING OR INFORM ME

REQUEST...

informed them of everything that had
transpired, Mary Willbond was
present and again did not attempt to

*I received a text from Chris
Heldreth at 4:57 the day before the
city was closed for the Friday,
Saturday, Sunday weekend asking for

*I received a second text from Chris
Heldreth stating he had gone on
vacation and forgot to tell me but that
code enforcement was told to stand
down.

I want a written answer as to who
authorized the bill on the 28th if code
enforcement was told to stand down. I
want it in a week. Someone
authorized the bill and Chris Heldreth
was on vacation. Perhaps the city
manager can answer why I brought it
up at the last meeting and I am still
being targeted and billed even after
code enforcement was told to stand
down.

This appears to be the way the city
operates. I'm at the meeting tonight to
ask that this be answered by the
council, city manager and Mayor as I
am being screwed by this city.

Hey Virginia, I'm sorry I
haven't reached back out. I
was on vacation and forgot to
send you an email. I wanted
to set up a meeting with you
to go over some items. Side
note. Code Enforcement was
told to stand down until we
have our meeting, so if
anything pops up let me know
and I will handle it. What days
work best for you and Jim? I
still need to get Rochelle and
Ken's schedule. But want to
know what days work best for
you.

I received another bill after
receiving your text for $500
I have a lot of medical
appointments. I can check my
schedule and I will get back
with you tomorrow if you will
be available. I know I have
three appointments this week
two in Victorville and one in
Loma Linda. I'm not sure
about next week I will reach
out to the neurosurgeon in
Riverside and see if they can
give me the date and time for
the appointment with him. I'm
still waiting for the other two
doctors to call and confirm
my appointments with them.

I'm sorry but | let my injuries
get to a point where they
have to be treated.

The bill says it has to be paid
in the next 30 days or it is
going on my taxes. The bill
was sent on the 28th. 4 days

after you asked for a meeting.

If it is not paid it's going on
my taxes, doesn't look like
they are standing down.

Don't stress, it's not another
500, it's the same one, but I
will have Code tell the
collection company to
pause .. I will have them do it
through email so we have a
copy in writing. Also, I will try
to get a couple dates and
times in the next couple
weeks for that meeting. But
don't stress about it I will
have everything paused until
we meet and figure this out.

Ok I know it's not another

that has me upset. I've been

Ok I know it's not another
$500 it's the 30 day to pay
that has me upset. I've been
dealing with this for several
months now and I keep
getting told by Mary and
others that it's being looked
into and all 1 keep getting is
more notices. I hope this isn't
going to turn into another it's
being looked into and nothing
gets done.

Well I can assure you that l
will handle this part...I
already sent Mary an email
telling her to write the
collection agency and provide
me their response so we have
it. Reach out to remind me if
you don't hear from me in the
next couple of days. But I
have asked for a pause on
everything Enforcement wise.

Yesterday 5:32 PM
I received the confirmation
from the collection agency
everything is on hold. So we
have some months to get this
figured out and go from there.

Next I will get a meeting for all
of us. I will get some dates
and send it to you in the next
day or two.

Can you please send me the
confirmation by email. I won't
apologize for not trusting you,
I know that sounds rude but
no one has given me any
reason to trust them in this
city for a long time
No it's all good. Already left
but let me try to get a
screenshot of it and I'll send
you that
