    smf: This is so obvious (or oblivious)  it’s not scary.   But, belittling not-much,  be afraid anyway…

    • Memos aren't generally printed and sent out in school mail anymore, so this isn't a waste of paper and ink and toner and distribution resources  – but in this email age it may be a waste of pixels and bandwidth and phosphors and screen time.
    • Superintendent_John@lausd.net  is kinda overly-friendly scary – though it eliminates the “Is it “DEE-see or DAY-see?” conundrum.
    • But the chain-of-command/org chart/who-works-for-whom issue is weird.  “The attached is being sent to you (by Superintendent John) on behalf of Michelle King, Senior Deputy Superintendent, School Operations?”

    Really?  Scary.
