Week in review: Sweetwater Union High School District
Well, Alliant's silence speaks volumes. What a shame.— July 9, 2013 8:32 p.m.
Week in review: Sweetwater Union High School District
A few questions: I would like to know if students can transfer credits to SDSU. What is the cost per unit? What classes will be offered, where and when? Thank you.— July 8, 2013 9:18 a.m.

You'll have to wait until 1:30 for the audio file and transcript to be uploaded to the website. The video that appears there now doesn't include the parts that I quoted above. Could the link be uploaded to the Safeguarding educaion Facebook page? She outlines what we should ask of any future board member and superintendent. Here's the link http://www.kpbs.org/news/2013/jul/01/cindy-marten…— July 1, 2013 12:43 p.m.
Week in review: Sweetwater Union High School District
Just listened to an interview with Cindy Marten, SD Unified's new superintendent, on KPBS' Midday Edition. It was only 15 minutes long - listen to it. What an intelligent and articulate woman! She has a vision for quality schools in **every** neighborhood, she believes in listening to the community because "the neighborhood knows what it needs" she believes in data and accountability, including checking university graduation rates not enrollment rates, to measure the district's success ... ll that and she respects teachers. What a breath of fresh air! I'm very happy for SD and I wish her much success. Can we clone her? ;)— July 1, 2013 12:37 p.m.
Week in review: Sweetwater Union High School District
Annie, I've been thinking about school boards as a stepping stone to higher office and I've come to the conclusion that if someone has the drive to run for an elected office, starting as a school board member would give them useful experience. What matters, as you say, is that they are there to serve. I may be naive, but I think our board members would have had a better chance of winning higher offices if they had served the public so well that their reputations would have garnered them the financial support and the votes of their constituents. At least I like to think so.— July 1, 2013 9:35 a.m.
Sweetwater runs afoul of state Public Records Act
Our poor kids. I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but the reviews for Alliant are awful! Read the students' and former staff reviews. They paint a very scary picture. [http://www.collegetimes.tv/alliant-international-…] If anyone finds out about another Alliant informational/recruitment meeting, please post it here. I'd like to go and ask them **a lot** of questions. [1]: http://www.collegetimes.tv/alliant-international-…— June 28, 2013 10:51 p.m.

Did Maty Adato get the the documents that she requested ? It's Friday, June 28.— June 28, 2013 12:24 p.m.

I'd like to see a simple, easily reproducible logo and a short message that isn't negative yet still drives the point home. I found this website that might generate a good slogan: [http://www.sloganizer.net/en/][1] Something like: $weetwater or Sweetwater -our choice, our vote.

Did you know that you can watch the San Diego County Board of Education meetings? I just found out. That would be a great recommendation to make to the SUHSD board: live webcasts of all board meetings. (without technical malfunctions, of course) I just watched an archived webcast of the May meeting. George Gastil, from Assembly member Shirley Weber's office, read a letter (from her to the board) in which she states that she received 900 letters regarding a SDCOE decision that concerned her. She has no authority over their decisions, but it doesn't hurt to have her pen a letter and have it read in public. Now we know what to do: 1. Send 1,000 letters or emails to all our representatives 2. Start attending SDCOE meetings If you want to watch it for yourself: [http://webcast.sdcoe.net/cs/boardmeeting050813/#]…] Mr. Gastil is at 1:40:45 [1]: http://webcast.sdcoe.net/cs/boardmeeting050813/#— June 26, 2013 11:10 a.m.
Sweetwater trustee reports stolen property to police
This exchange reminds me that there are some things in life that we can't change - especailly people. I'm reminded of Aesop’s Fable: The Scorpion and the Frog A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too." The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?" **Replies the scorpion: "It’s my nature..."** Please don't read disrespect for timtim into this story. Scorpions get a bad rap, but they are beneficial creatures. I'm sure timtim loves his family, is a good friend, etc, etc. But he just can't help himself when he shoots off a "stinging" comment or act. It may just be his nature.— June 21, 2013 11:47 a.m.
