Dirt Dumped at Southwest High School's Campus Still Under Investigation
AnnieJ I went onto the Rostra and it looks like Ms. McCann is hard at work trying to excuse her husband of the idiotic things he has done. It doesnt take someone with a lot of brains to understand that his political career is over. His aspirations of running for higher office are finished!— July 18, 2012 9:35 a.m.
Dirt Dumped at Southwest High School's Campus Still Under Investigation
Jesus criminy can this district get anything right!!!! Release the reports and if it is not toxic why the hell are you moving it and how the heck did 10 tons of dirt magically appear? You know now I understand those people who go to board meetings month after month and their frustration holy crap. If there is nothing wrong why the heck was it tested twice? If there was nothing wrong why does another agency say there is something wrong? Transparency my big fat a--, this board and the people who are running the district should be given a shovel to dig themselves out the pile of crap they are giving to the public and then start removing the dirt.— July 17, 2012 10:13 a.m.
It's a Small World After All...Another Gandara, the Same GCR
I guess the apple does not fall far from the tree does it. In reading all of these articles you start to wonder when are the trials going to start and when are these people going to start serving time and paying back the money they stole.— July 3, 2012 12:23 p.m.
Toxic Dirt Trucked to Southwest High School?
after reading all these blogs and great stories by ms. Luzzaro I can see why. This district has serious issues and they lie all the time to get out of messes and then the right hand doesnt know the lie the left hand said.— June 29, 2012 9:32 a.m.
Toxic Dirt Trucked to Southwest High School?
oh yeah i just thought of something else what about that kid that got expelled from school and sent to alt ed for spitting out the window can we do the same thing to this board and superintendent and the cfo? Can we exile them like they do the students? Really pissed off in south san diego..— June 28, 2012 12:34 p.m.
Toxic Dirt Trucked to Southwest High School?
OK so Brand doesnt know where the dirt came from? Do the residents of the So Bay have STUPID written on their foreheads! This district has ruined the football season for these kids among so many other things. We have kids doing PE on this field breathing in the dirt, we have residents next door breathing in the dirt as it flies away WTH. If this stupid A** board and the superintendent wanted to the right thing for the kids they are suppose to take care of they wouldn't have allowed it to be dumped there in the first place. THIS DISTRICT IS SINKING FAST AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO KEEP ON TOP OF ALL THE LIES THEY TELL. WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT WE ARE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE ENTIRE STATE.— June 28, 2012 9:50 a.m.
Sweetwater Union HS District Board Meeting Skips Public Comment
matyadato: what joepublic said is so true, what are they going to try and do ignore this issue forever. I don't think they can go back in time and pick and choose what they want to be included in this yearly resolution. The clock should start ticking from June 11 and forward. I really hope you do this so that now they will have no where to hide, they will have to show their real colors and actually vote!— June 15, 2012 10:20 a.m.
Sweetwater Union HS District Board Meeting Skips Public Comment
OMG this man has definite anger management problems speaking to the public in such a fashion. Based on what I have seen at the meetings Ms. Adato and the other people that sit with her research the agenda and probably know more information about the district and its past history then the board. Dr. Brand this was uncalled for and the antics of the board as well as yourself are completely not of professionals. What will be next a bogus filing of a TRO against these people? What a shame that it has come to this don't you think you should step down now I think the pressure is getting to you!— June 14, 2012 9:39 a.m.
Sweetwater Union High School District Borrowing on Bond Funds?
Eastlaker I truly think that you should really look into this issue and start questioning the practices of the Mello Roos funds, especially if you are paying them. The County Board of Ed I think sits with their feet up and has done nothing to help this district get back on track, maybe they are in cahoots with them.... If they are illegally using one fund there is probably a lot more to this money thing then we know.— June 13, 2012 10:40 a.m.
Sweetwater Union High School District Borrowing on Bond Funds?
Susan, you could always run this on the front page of the reader. i think everyone should see the nasty letter Dr. Brand sent to you and maybe you should demand an apology.— June 13, 2012 10:31 a.m.
