I have worked at TCOE for almost 15 years now and never did I think it would turn into the horror…read moreshow it has become. TCOE was once a place of employment to envy but now has degraded so much in the past few years that employee turn around is at an all-time high. Morale is extremely low, leadership cannot be trusted, and everyone here (except the administration) is aware the ship is sinking. So, what happened? Fernie Marroquin happened. One person is all it took to demolish the sturdy foundation TCOE was built upon. Fernie is an assistant superintendent and in charge of the Business Division at TCOE, yet possesses no formal education in business nor finance. He has cut many jobs, to include half of the IT department and ERS, he has lost numerous programs hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant money, and he continues to withhold vital information from Tim Hire, the superintendent. Fernie is driven by his narcissistic ego which prevents him from taking advice any employee below his pay-grade as well as admitting to any of his mistakes. Fernie has single-handedly crushed the pride and comradery we TCOE employees used to have and instead has instilled the fear of being fired or laid-off if anyone speaks against his decisions. Sadly, this is not the first incident of this scenario as he was a defendant in a lawsuit at a previous employment where he was charged with retaliation when an employee spoke up, yet here he is, the right-hand man to the superintendent of the Tulare County Office of Education. I represent one of many employees at TCOE who no longer wants to sit back and do nothing while our beloved TCOE crumbles to the ground. We will not let this continue behind closed doors while emails to the school districts paint a picture of roses and balloons at TCOE. Enough is enough. We will no longer be silenced, Fernie.

I came here today and loved it! It was free to visit and even on a Friday afternoon, there was…read moreplenty of parking. In fact, there were only a few people inside. There's mostly just one big room and one small side room. You could easily comb the entire place in 30 minutes. Off to another side, there is a gift shop with lots of handmade crafts (like wooden carvings, jewelry, and pottery) from local artists and art prints for sale. There is a new exhibition every month with opening night the first Friday of each month. They also offer lots of cool art classes for adults and children. I am already planning my next visit :)

We just saw, You're a good Man Charlie Brown. The program is digital, which is great for saving the…read moreenvironment. It would have been nice to have a paper one as a memento as my cousin was the leading lady. This was a very well done production. The sound/acoustics was really good. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of leg room. The concession stand had a huge variety. I got the snoopy cookie for $5 and it was just as delicious as it was cute. There was plenty of parking in the back lot. The bathroom was bigger than I expected being a small theater. There are 2 stalls in the Women's and a unisex bathroom soon as you enter the Ice House in the lobby. The Ice House is surrounded by a wrought iron fence. It doesn't look like your typical theater as it used to be an ice house, thus that's how it got its name. It's easy to find if you use your gps to get you there. The only gripe I have is it was so cold in there. I brought a jacket and was still a bit chilly.

My wife and I love the smaller class sizes and the teachers willingness to see that our girls succeed! The campus feels comfortable, safe and inviting. There's always something going on to enrich their experience - field trips, kite day, book fair, carnival, guest speakers and story tellers, student-led chapel, music and art. Parents are very involved in the class rooms. Highly recommend St. Paul's school!

If you're a parent to a child with autism, who feels scared of letting them go into the world, but…read moreat the same time don't know how to handle things on your own anymore, I strongly recommend this place. My son barely started this year around his 4th birthday in May. He is nonverbal and would get frustrated when he couldn't communicate with us his wants and needs. He would have really bad tantrums and would try to hurt himself as well as us and other people around him. We were scared to send him off and let other people around him because you can never be too careful but here at Dream Big in Visalia they treat him and the rest of us like family. My son loves going everyday and he goes for the full day. He went from being nonverbal to being more vocal. He knows his numbers to 20, his ABC's, his colors, he waves hi and bye and is actually saying "bye". He points at things now with his finger and is able to say a few words in hopes that you can understand what he's asking for. He went from being uncomfortable around strangers to being comfortable and letting others help him as well as asking for help. He's more patient now and he allows other children to play around him and is now learning how to share because he has a really hard time sharing. He's learning to listen to instructions like throwing away trash and cleaning up after himself. Before my son wouldn't even sit down for circle time and now he sits there with the rest of the kids. He even sits down to have lunch or eat snacks and before it was difficult to even get him to sit down anywhere. At dream big I love that every child always has one tech with them at all times. Their therapies are in form of play so the children are always enjoying themselves. Everything they do is always positive reinforcement. Every day you get a summary about how their day was and they always want to know what else they can do to help have an easier time at home. What I also love is that you as a parent also get training to learn to understand your children and know how to help them and how to handle things appropriately. Let's not forget to mention how nice this place actually is and how safe it is as well. It's well equipped for children to play inside and outside as well with the yard being fenced really high and all doors locked to were only adults have access to open them. No one is getting in our out without them knowing. In there it's sensory heaven for our children. My son has a hard time leaving almost every single day, but who can blame him when the staff there is amazing and are always doing everything possible to make them happy and enjoy themselves there. Quetzali, Roni, Rachel, and April have treated us with great respect from day one as well as every single tech in there. I would mention them all by name if I knew all of their names. These people have definitely made me less scared about my baby's future. My son is thriving and doing things that we could have never imagined. Don't be scared and take that leap of faith and trust them! You will not regret your decision and your kids will thank you! I hope this review helps. I know I as well as my husband were scared to even imagine taking our eyes off of him for a second and now our little one is more independent and we couldn't be more proud of him and thankful that this place to exists.

great school, great teacher, great student, and by far the most unforgettable experiences here.read more

If you're looking for a place where motivation goes to die and time somehow moves both too fast and…read moretoo slow at the same time, Tulare Union High School is the perfect spot. Walking onto campus feels like stepping into a loop of the same day over and over again, except somehow each day gets more exhausting. The food? Let's just say it builds character... and possibly a stronger immune system. The lines are longer than the actual time you get to eat, so by the time you sit down, lunch is basically over. The classrooms are a mix of freezing cold or randomly hot, with no in-between. You either can't feel your fingers or you're trying not to fall asleep from the heat. And don't even get me started on the Wi-Fi--it works great if your goal is to not use it at all. Some teachers are cool, but others act like their class is the only one that exists, assigning enough homework to keep you busy until graduation. Spirit events are hyped up, but somehow still end up being awkward half the time. Overall, if you enjoy chaos, confusion, and wondering why you even showed up that day, this school might be for you. Otherwise... good luck.
