Dear PAUSD, it appears you have removed accurate and cited information about the achievement gap, special ed disproportionality, and the Paly math department letter. These are factual matters that are not addressed or refuted in your new section on college readiness. This raises a concern of conflict of interest in that it appears you would wish to control the information about Paly to limit it only to things about the school that the district wishes to publicize, but that is not how Wikipedia works. The removal of the achievement gap section and information were identified by a prior editor as vandalism and reverted, only to be removed again. Please feel free to have a college readiness section with accurate information that you wish to promulgate, but PAUSD does not control the pages on Wikipedia, and you do yourself and the public a disservice by removing information that is accurate and otherwise publicly available by cited references, including from the district's own website. Hence, we will plan to revert the achievement gap section, and also make it known through appropriate avenues that it was taken down by PAUSD. If you have any valid corrections to the information that was in the achievement gap section that we should consider and discuss, of course please advise as part of the editorial process, as we hope the Paly wikipedia page will be a useful resource by accurately presenting robust information about Paly, both pros and cons.
