Classroom shenanigans in Sweetwater school district?
Advocate perhaps Susie Mitchell? It is time you and Ed take your two man circus somewhere else. You have attempted to take advantage of the Castle Park community in order to benefit yourselves financially. Your handling of the informational meeting was disrespectful to the parents who came there for answers, not to be scammed. C.A.V.E. people you need to find a way to hold meetings in the parents homes, I am sure many will attend.— January 29, 2014 7:51 a.m.
Sweetwater district corruption trial postponed
There is a much deeper reason why Cartmill, McCann, Brand and Quinones continue to dance to the same tune. Something is there and I believe that the investigation by the FBI will get to the bottom of it. Financial investments, IRS audits of personal assets and businesses. Perhaps if several people called the IRS we could add them to the list of resources that have been reached out to. Persons of interest should be Cartmill, McCann and Brand especially with the comments posted here regarding loans from Brand to Cartmill.— January 28, 2014 3:37 p.m.
No process yet to replace Sweetwater trustee Ricasa
Ms. Susan Differences of opinions are healthy. However a commentor whose only goal is to insult offers nothing for the reader to consider. Thanks to the Reader for stepping in and allowing the conversations to remain civil and focused on topic.— January 16, 2014 3:29 p.m.
No process yet to replace Sweetwater trustee Ricasa
Perhaps she was reported to Facebook as a previous post recommended. Facebook rules stipulate you may not attempt to pose as anyone other than yourself. It was most obvious this person was one of Dr. Brand's puppets. Maybe another retired administrator looking to soon be an overpaid consultant. It is not as if any of her comments were relevant or added a factual basis to the conversation.— January 16, 2014 10:53 a.m.
No process yet to replace Sweetwater trustee Ricasa
"The only person we can count on is McCann." You are making a joke right?— January 15, 2014 5:49 p.m.
No tough justice for former Southwestern College official
If we as a community can not trust the courts to protect us then who do we have to turn to? Move the boundaries of our country a few miles north and this case is similar to the justice system to the south of us. Judge Espana took deliberate action is stating she lives in this community. She is not someone I am proud to call neighbor.— January 9, 2014 8:18 a.m.
Few details on Sweetwater district's student-data-sharing deal
IPADS for the CHARTER SCHOOL students were paid for out of whose account? "Budget string from Karen from '''slush''' find that Dianne set up". Did any of you see 'slush fund' column on recent budget documents share with the public. Hopefully you all are right and the DA is looking into this however state and federally officials are the ones who can audit and put a stop to the funny money practices. There are people who know the truth and will speak to grand jury if called.— December 29, 2013 6:15 p.m.
Sweetwater school district invites more suspicion
Mr. Calhoun is not his own man, he is Dr. Brand's little tin soldier and can not be trusted. This is the same man who said our schools were safe when he knew it was a lie. Two months later a fire at Chula set off no alarms or sprinklers. When Dr. Brand goes so must Tom Calhoun. This news shows he lied by omission, but he does that all of the time.— December 21, 2013 7:24 p.m.
Sweetwater trustee Arlie Ricasa to resign
Arlie must resign her position if Southwestern is earnest in its commitment to do away with corruption. She did not simply plead to a misdemeanor she acknowledged in writing that her vote was for sale. Little compassion is felt for someone who is a disgrace to her community. People voted for her for a reason she did nothing but bring disgrace to their vote. Any Director who admits to such a thing must be made to resign.— December 18, 2013 6:48 p.m.
Santa and Grinch visit Sweetwater District meeting
bbq Maybe 'the grinch' stoled them??? (see title of article) While I am here, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a Happy Seasons Greeting! In a couple of weeks we will be welcoming in a New Year! Lets hope for the sake of the students that this year THEY are the priority of all.— December 18, 2013 7:20 a.m.
