SKSS v CSSKS - Similar in Name Only

South Kitsap School Supporters   ---   Citizens Supporting South Kitsap Schools


Both organizations have similar names and purported goals, but take opposing views on school funding and operations. Compare the two organizations side-by-side below.  

The facts speak for themselves. If the facts show one organization in a better light than the other, it is not the fault of the messenger.

Repurposed Website

CSSKS, at https://citizenssupportingsouthkitsapschooldistrict.com/,  again repurposed itself as of January 14, 2022.  The many pages regarding the South Kitsap School District were removed.  Of the remaining eleven subpages at that time, ten were devoted to primarily attacking Director John Berg, and to a lessor extent the current Board President Wilson and former Directors Gattenby and Sebren.  


While the CSSKS website's intent is to criticize and demean the character of Director Berg, the website's graphics, vitriol and overall tone reveals much more about the character of its authors than any of the website content itself may say about Director Berg.  This is most likely the reason for the website's cowardly anonymity in failing to disclose its authors and backers.


It appears that after the above statement appeared here, the website has again repurposed itself and returned to one of its former forms.

A final note on CSSKS

After following the CSSKS website for over a year, enough is enough!


Based on the conclusion that the CSSKS website is more of a curious diversion than a significant source of any reliable information, this website, SKschools.info, will no longer be taking notice of the CSSKS website.  The CSSKC website would almost be considered comical if it did not reflect so badly on the character of its sponsors.


It is deemed not worth any time or effort to document false and misleading statements on the CSSKS website since it most likely has very few readers anyway and there is no reason to direct anyone else to it.  Reasonable individuals who happen upon it should be able to determine for themselves the reliability of its assorted claims.

PDC Complaints filed involving SKSS and CSSKS

1. Citizen's Supporting South Kitsap Schools: Alleged Violation of RCW 42.17A.205, .235, .240 for failure to timely register (PDC Form C-1pc), failure to timely report contributions, in-kind, expenditures, loans and debts (PDC Forms C-3 & C-4)(EY21, Dec20)
