steviejanowski - and what say you of the board or Superiintendent? What are your views of our $10million deficit?— February 7, 2014 9:49 a.m.
Following disappointing year, management shakeup at U-T coming
Perhaps another concern Mr. Hodges might have addressed is the need to return to factual news, without the political bias. REAL NEWS, that matters!!!!!!!!, not regurgitation of the same old political banter. We San Diegans like to make up our own minds, and are intelligent enough to do so!— February 7, 2014 3:49 a.m.

Susan Luzzaro - Thank You for setting the record straight. When all is said and done, the history of the South Bay shall record that Susan Luzzaro and The READER cared enough about students, taxpayers, integrity and politics to report the truth backed up by hard hitting indisputable facts.— February 6, 2014 9:10 p.m.

Espionage1 - sorry, forgot one point- what Board members met with DA investigators regarding the alleged corruption PRIOR to the indictments and in tandem with the 5 antagonists? What Board member chose to meet with the 5 to listen and view their documentation? Answer: BERTHA LOPEZ— February 6, 2014 5:52 p.m.

espionage 1 - while I have gone record expressing my admiration for teachers I have also gone on record that bad teachers need to go. Such a person was 'employed' (will not claim she/he was teaching) at my home school (allegedly). The students knew, the Administrators knew but stated they could do nothing about it????? Persons not fit for the job, should not be in the job. I am curious with one point of your comment - you state that Ms. Lopez was contacted - why weren't ALL of the Board members contacted? What of the Administrator who 'messed things up at CPH, was then moved to Sweetwater High where said Administrator was involved in yet another 'mess up' but ended up with a promotion on the east side - allegedly because spouse is close to Brand? You see there are questionable decisions on both sides of the coin - Administrators and Educators. Yes there are many issues with SUSD, however I am of the opinion that on this particular issue we will have to agree to disagree when you hold Ms. Lopez personally responsible. What would you have had Lopez do 'promise to have the teachers job'? We both know said teacher is due 'due process'. Employees everywhere are due the same. I am curious, do your know for a fact what Lopez did or did not do with the info? Again, why was Lopez the only Board member contacted? Hopefully conversations on such issues can bring about positive change for the benefit of our students.— February 6, 2014 5:40 p.m.

Barbque - Mr. Brickley was one of the original 5 who met with the DA and FBI. As such he could be described as a charter member of the CAVE people. studentsfirst - I am thinking you have a financial stake in some aspect of one of Ms. Luzzaro's facts based stories. Neutral meeting place? What is there to meet about, facts are facts - perhaps you have not read the attachment, that document, the one you are disputing as fact CAME FROM THE DISTRICT!!!!!!!!!!!! You speak of hiding behind a computer screen - and what of you? As Brickley so eloquently stated 'sooner or later all of you who are using vs. serving - in the words of our students catch phrases - YOU GONE'!!!!!!!!!— February 6, 2014 2:23 p.m.

WOW, 'Who is this Susan Luzzaro b----' 'Friend of the white elite extremists' And these educators/administrators are in our District, paid by our tax dollars? Don't it just make you proud? It is a sad day when an Administrator brings racial connotations to the issue. Perhaps Mr. Bleisch might want to do his research regarding those he calls white extremists - there are some Latinas/Latinos and African American in that group he refers to, One would like to think that our Board President Jim Cartmill would step in and take steps to removing such individuals, not for what they have said, as they are protected by free speech, but for their aggregious acts relative to efforts and spending that take away from Public Education. What more needs to happen for Ed Brand to be removed. He encourages acts like those Mr. Bleisch perpetrates because they suit his objectives. Bleisch is following so close behind Brand that if Brand took a misstep they would both fall. IF I had a student in Ms. Galleher's class yesterday, they sure would not be in her class today. You see I tend to respect teachers, I see them as an important tool for this Nation staying great. Rather than calling Ms. Luzzaro such a degrading name she should be spending her free time ridding our District of the 'Chicago like' personnel and tactics. Shame on you Ms. Galleher! This is yet another embarrassment, just look at who we have given charge over our children to? Ms. Luzzaro, the community respects you and your efforts, I hope you know that!!!!— February 6, 2014 9:13 a.m.
Judge España goes easy on Southwestern College VP
Truther - just went out and checked, yep I am still living in the US of A - remember the country where freedom of speech is valued and protected. Please feel free to post your comments regarding all of the Felonies being pleaded down to Misdemeanors. No lawyer, no judge - just little ol' me. Do I know all of the facts - no. Did I do some of the hard work to expose the 'alleged' corruption we are plagued with - yes While you are correct, and I Thank You for thinking so YES I could probably help solve the many problems that plague SUHSD if I were fortunante to be elected - no election campaign for me at this time. Tell me Truther and what of your efforts to help?— February 5, 2014 10:48 a.m.
