Sweetwater cash cow improperly milked
But one thing for sure they are NOW spending book money on FREAKIN' REAL ESTATE!!!— September 3, 2014 7:39 p.m.
Sweetwater cash cow improperly milked
After reading today's release from SUHSD and now reading this I am wondering - is the cell tower money being diverted into the Asset Utilization/Fund 40 because our temporary Board authorized Tom Calhoun to go forward with the lease on Harold Place. Has the lease for the new District office been signed? Inquiring minds will find out. Ms. Neylon, our County Board representative went on record last month with her flippant statement 'it's not like we can take monies for books and spend them on property' (paraphrase) - OH REALLY!!!!!! It appears, once again those who were sent to hold down the fort inadvertently have gone out and leased a new fort - maybe I am wrong, maybe the lease has not been signed - we will soon know. But one thing for sure, they are NOW SPENDING BOOK MONEY!— September 3, 2014 7:22 p.m.
Working parents should live in Chula Vista
The OWD should be cognizant of the fact that we will trust little that the H2O coming from Baja will be safe to drink. Allow me to point you in the direction of the continual sewage problem that spews onto the beaches of IB. I have little trust in any entity (Government) that fails to protect and honor their own citizens - yes, I do realize this will be a private enterprise - HOWEVER WE WILL STILL BE DEALING WITH THE NOTORIOUS GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO.— September 2, 2014 10:35 p.m.
Working parents should live in Chula Vista
It appears the 'NERDS' at NerdWallet failed to read/or did not receive the news regarding the white collar crime of the Sweetwater School Board in Chula Vista. Then there is the issue that the MAJORITY of schools in the SUHSD are in Program Improvement. Not that it would matter much, the parental population of Sweetwater students are MIA when it comes to important issues like the education of their children in Middle and High School.— September 2, 2014 10:29 p.m.

Where was all of this concern when a Contractor saw fit to dump the old I.B. Pier parking lot into the riverbed just west of the 805?— September 1, 2014 6:29 p.m.

Thinking out loud here - about the forums. - why will valuable time be wasted on educating the community on the scandals? The scandals/court cases are settled. We should be focusing on building a new foundation, the old foundation has been jack hammered. Telling adults alleged corruption has existed in the SUHSD - not following. - will part of the agenda be to address or identify issues real, current issues? - voters are interested in asking their own questions. Let's see how the candidates do when asked questions on issues without the benefit of preparing a script. If you want to engage the public allow the public the opportunity draft their own questions. Prepared questions will tell us little about the work the candidate has done in educating themself on the issues or their commitment to serve vs. use. Again I say it is imperative that we all vet our candidates. I am not interested in bios - I personally am interested in WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR THE STUDENTS OF THE ''''''ENTIRE''''''' SUHSD - regardless of the area they reside. I realize there are issues that affect one area that does not affect others, but in the end we are all neighbors, and should be as vested in other areas concerns as we are our own. While I value eastlaker's, oskidoll's, barbq's, Maty Adato's and others opinions - I will vet my candidate based on my research, their vision for much needed improvement and based on what the candidates plans are to bring all parties together, for the good of the future leaders of this country.— August 27, 2014 3:37 p.m.

VigilantinCV - couple of questions 1- who, specifically, will be educating attendees? 2- why are the workshops only being held in Chula Vista? Several other communities students attend SUHSD. Might the host meeting be telecast to other libraries in IB, San Ysidro, Bonita, Eastlake, Natl City, Otay and South San Diego?— August 26, 2014 6:36 p.m.

I would like to recommend that all here send an email to Dr. Glover respectfully requesting that SUHSD hold forums for the upcoming election. The candidates for that area should be invited and the TOUGH questions asked.— August 26, 2014 8:23 a.m.

eastlaker - this has been a community effort - each entity played/plays a valuable role in the effort to return the District to what should be its primary focus - THE STUDENTS. WE ARE IN THE HOME STRETCH - the next few months efforts regarding the properties, the candidates, the future Super will determine if integrity will be restored. EVERYONE IS NEEDED, EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE - pick your topic and lets all work hard. In closing - Asset Utilization and the massive amounts of monies spent - well, guess I found one of my topics. BBQ - we have missed you!— August 25, 2014 1:23 p.m.

oskidoll - transparency demands that I acknowledge I was reminded of the GCR expense report by a 'source'. However, it is a matter of public record should one care to do a PRA. Asset utilization - SUHSD properties - millions folks, of OUR taxpaying dollars! The net is getting wider and wider and wider. Here is a thought, all of the monies we have spent on L street, the entitlement process (more than 1, many more than 1), legal fees associated with the properties, current asset utilization plan and on and on - well by golly it is an astronomical number - maybe even large enough to have built a brand new school. But let's remember what Ed Brand, Jim Cartmill, Arlie Ricasa, Pearl Quinones, 'the Gandara, Bonny Garcia and the rest have told us ----- ITS ALL ABOUT THE KIDS!!!!!!— August 24, 2014 8:22 p.m.
