Sweetwater school district board seeks to silence opposition
bbq I really applaud you trying to be civil in all of this and giving the district the benefit of the doubt but some people in the community just can't be down with your strategy. These people have thrown away millions of mulah on stupid consultants and land deals gone bad. How can we give them the benefit of the doubt when they treat all of us like we are stupid. Shouldn't they be spending the money on kids education and not property. They don't have enough money to make payroll so they borrow from the mello funds but we have money for property? It just doesn't make sense at all. Something stinks in this district and it starts with brand and then the board. You know i attended a meeting and this lady kept on saying that Brand would be a great used car salesman and you know something she was right and we keep on getting the clunker.— March 20, 2013 10:24 a.m.
Before the DA's investigation of Sweetwater school district...
Can someone please tell me why these people were able to get free legal advice on our dime. We pay for the Grand Jury and now we have to pay for people to tell the truth also. Tell Mccann and Brand to use their own money to defend their lies and stupidity. BTW isn't Grand Jury testimony confidential? Well their is Brand at his best securing that nothing is said that shouldnt be said. Confidential means nobody knows your going to testify so how did Brand offer to help these so called employees. This pompous ass that plays G-d really needs to go and quick.— March 20, 2013 10:07 a.m.
Sweetwater school district cuts program and teachers
So let me get this straight the district wants to buy more property and lay off teachers and cancel an entire program. What is wrong with this picture are these idiots land developers or are they suppose to be educating students? Who is running this zoo, the zoo or the zookeepers oh yeah maybe the jackasses elected to this board! Why can't they get their head out of the butts and actually do what this Pearl person did and investigate things that benefit students not themselves.— March 15, 2013 10:42 a.m.
Southwestern College trustee resigns in protest
Oh yeah another thing, if you know the information is flawed then why not demand the accurate information? Dont walk away it takes someone with some major balls to stand up to these corrupt administrators and demand that they do their jobs in the correct fashion. Dude you could have made a difference and sorry to say I think you took the cowards way out.— March 4, 2013 12:41 p.m.
Southwestern College trustee resigns in protest
Dude I understand your frustration but why resign? Wont you do better being a board member? I think what the administration has to understand is they have to give you the information that the board demands. I think you could have served the students and staff better being a board member than quitting. That doesnt serve anyone and now you can never make a difference.— March 4, 2013 12:37 p.m.
Southwestern faculty questions college’s education plan
I thought SWC cleaned up their act a bit but I guess I was wrong. You are a college, an education institution and your data is flawed that doesnt speak much for the administrators does it. WTF on SWC and SUHSD hiring consultants to do the work that administrators are paid the big bucks to do. The only people getting anything out of these screwed up districts are the damn administrators. Have you recently tried to to sign up for a class it is all but impossible to get a class you need and if you do it is an online one, people like to have an actual professor in front of them not via e-mail. I am really starting to hate this community and their school districts.— February 28, 2013 10:44 a.m.

Sweetwater school board to address campaign spending limits
What a crock of shit, I thought i heard everything from this district but I guess they are the gift of that keeps on giving. The only problem is that the only thing they keep on giving is excuses for their crappy behavior. All they want is the money, greedy bastards aren't they? Community keep up the fight hopefully they will end up convicted and leave their posts and then we can get some real reform started by firing the pompous, lying, arrogant and narcissistic superintendent.— February 20, 2013 noon
Sweetwater school board to address campaign spending limits
Great article Ms. Luzzaro!! Lets see if how these people will react and based on all the bad press they get, they should vote yes with no discussion. Based on this districts actions Ms. Adato i think it does take a rocket scientist because this board doesnt understand plain English. Maybe they should have to retake an ethics class until they pass it, oh wait then we might have to pay their retirement.— February 19, 2013 9:50 a.m.
New Sweetwater Union financial officer has controversial past
@ Catek, these people are pretty darn emotional in the South Bay because of all the corruption and crap down here. If your guy is all that, then all the power to him, but he will have to prove himself big time. if you read all the articles by Ms. Luzzaro about this place you will kind of understand why nobody trusts nobody down here. Everything is done with a "whats in it for me" kind of mentality. Kids are totally the lowest on the totem pole and the superintendent as well as some of the board has a narcissistic complex. So cut these people a break and tell your guy that everyone sure hopes he lives up to the expectations you have of him because if not, these people will feed him to the wolves and the DA. You also might advise him to review all of the crap this superintendent is into because he might have to choose which side of the line he wants to stand on. I hope he did his homework on this district and is ready to come down and get it back on track. This shit has to stop he could be the hero, the follower or he could be the scape goat. Its all up to him but his reputation isnt that good, you have to admit.....— February 5, 2013 11:02 a.m.
