Land sakes, Sweetwater, get it together
Speaking as a commoner I must say if Tom Calhoun is not given his walking papers YESTERDAY then we are doomed. Under what premise does an 'employee', paid with our tax dollars, take it upon himself to take action with complete disregard to those WE HAVE VOTED INTO OFFICE. The old Board is not there for a reason, they did not conduct business in the best interest of the communities students or taxpayers, resulting in their BEING OUSTED VIA THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM OR OUR VOTE. One does not need an interpreter to realize Tom Calhoun has assumed all control - new Board, no concern of his. The County Board of Ed SOLD US DOWN THE RIVER WITHOUT A PADDLE, and continue to influence - HOW, WHY????? During last nights Board committee meeting, attended by Mr. Pike and Ms. Hall, Mr. Calhoun attempted to address the property issue, it was agendized - Ms. Hall made it crystal clear with the words 'WE ARE NOT TAKING ABOUT THAT HERE, IT IS A BOARD DECISION' (paraphrasing). She then asked Mr. Calhoun about the notification for Thursday night meeting on the Districts website - she was concerned about the wording as she had received calls from several concerned citizens. She pressed, she wanted to know who wrote it - Mr. Calhoun's response 'the City and BRG' - so there you have it folks BUSINESS IS BEING HANDLED OUTSIDE THE BOARDS PREVIEW - IS THIS ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR - if not, then I respectfully ask that you communicate your opinions to those involved. Look, we can sit here and simply bang away on our keyboards OR WE CAN SHOW UP, STAND UP AND DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. Can we all stand together and demand integrity and transparency. Tom Calhoun has shown us the little regard he has for our choice of new Board members - he is acting as if they fail to exist. He is telling us, in his own defiant way, he could care less that we want to know the TRUTH about what is going on - The County Board of Ed, John McCann - they voted on this issue in November - ONE MONTH BEFORE OUR NEW BOARD TOOK OFFICE - does that not raise red flags to you? THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON HERE, SOME SECRET THEY ARE TRYING TO HIDE - Well folks..........— February 4, 2015 1:23 p.m.

anniej wants to know - who is driving this ship District employees or the Board? BY GOD IT HAD BETTER BE THE BOARD- because they are the ones who live here amongst us and promised us transparency. Guess it is hard to deliver transparency when you are not given the courtesy of a CC on SUCH AN IMPORTANT EMAIL. I make a motion that the Board deliver the message - there are 5 new sheriffs in town and they are in charge!— February 3, 2015 5:55 p.m.

Catching up with John
Let's all face it - JOHN MCCANN WILL NEVER CHANGE - John will be John. In age he is a man, however that is where the growth stopped - he will forever be one of those persons who never grew out of his childish ways. His propensity for playing victim, playing the vet card and least we forget his continuous reminders of his car accident has left us wanting him gone from politics and out from in front of the camera. bbq - least we forget it is the 'players' that carry out the 'plays'. SjTorres - you Sir/Ms. continuously seem to find yourself rooting for those who find themself involved in questionable behavior - no matter where it is reported (UT) or who does the reporting. The facts are there for you - was it 18 convicted in the corruption cases in the South Bay? And who was the reporter that began reporting on the corruption LONG BEFORE the 'antagonists' were ever heard of? WHY BY GOLLY - IT WAS NONE OTHER THAN SUSAN LUZZARO. TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!! just my opinion— February 2, 2015 9:23 a.m.
O squeaky clean leader, where art thou?
After reading the 'allegations' on several websites including EGPN News I am raising the yellow cautionary flag. WHEN WILL SCHOOL DISTRICTS LEARN IT IS IMPORTANT TO THOROUGHLY VET HIRES - especially a District like San Ysidro who has had major problems with the integrity of their Sup? UNBELIEVABLE, SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE!!!!— February 1, 2015 7:46 a.m.
Don't mess with Texas' labor pool
Looking to be fair - I tend to believe people until they show me I erred in my judgement. Dr. Tom Glover is highly thought of by many many people. If he says he is stepping down in order to make the process transparent - I say we should take him at his word. I do NOT know Dr. Glover personally but many close to me do - he has brought peace to those who have been downtrodden by our past 2 Supers - they no longer live in fear. He is someone you can disagree with and he does not hold a grudge. Sjtorres - as to your comment as to 'why he is not being allowed to stay' - IT WAS DR. GLOVER'S DECISION TO LEAVE. regarding your comment 'brave yourself for lots of upcoming cronyism' - in case you have not heard there are 5 new sheriffs in town - I have personally observed them in action - and while I have not agreed with every vote - so far so good - and, we are FREE AT LAST FROM THE SCURGE OF THE MAJORITY OF OUR PAST BOARD!!!! Let's all sing a line from HALLELUJAH!— January 31, 2015 8:03 p.m.

bbq- It would be wonderful if you would share your suggestion for Oversight during public comment at next Board meeting.— January 30, 2015 9:54 p.m.

VigilantinCV - while I respect your opinion - I would offer up it is going to take judicial entities to unravel the L street web. Hope to see, at the end of the journey, those who practiced to deceive bite the dust. If Kowba is everything you say - anniej would welcome him.— January 30, 2015 2:04 p.m.
