Judge España goes easy on Southwestern College VP
Truther, did you even bother to read the abbreviated version of the D A's case against these crooks. Take a look before passing judgement on others. Blogs are opinions? I agree anniej should be a board member,honesty would be so refreshing.— February 5, 2014 7:23 a.m.
Judge España goes easy on Southwestern College VP
What recourse is left to us. It's unlikely the sentences will change for the Sweetwater crew. It's hard to believe this judge is a community member. I just don't get it! It appears Pearl will force the judges hand to get the same deal Arlie got. All she has to do is refuse to accept her deal, and Espana will tell the DA to accommodate her. God knows she doesn't want a trial. At the hearing before this her last statement was that she was in hopes that a resolution (deal) could be reached. What does that tell you.— January 31, 2014 8:26 p.m.
Sweetwater Union and Chula Vista Elementary districts to merge?
Bbq, I believe you said it well. Why would CV Elem.want to encumber Sweetwater's debts? Why ruin a good thing. More pomp and circumstance to come until after the election. After we get a few new board members and a new supt.we will be on a long road to recovery. This district use to be considered one of the best years ago.— January 31, 2014 7:47 a.m.
Classroom shenanigans in Sweetwater school district?
mko, I agree more exploration needs to happen for the same reasons I've already stated. Another big concern is if IB has to absorb San Ysidro and their new indebtedness and National City takes the two junior highs and Sweetwater High won't this place an imbalance on the quality of education in these lower income areas. What happens to the rest of the 640 million bond monies left? I'm probably getting way ahead of myself here. This isn't Unification like San Diego Unified District. This appears to be a division proposition. This is being looked at per Ed Code and I guess we wait to see what Randy Ward and Lyn Neylon have to add or clarify. I'm concerned about this. I understand total unification, but I'm not familiar with this method. Are you?— January 29, 2014 11:52 a.m.
Classroom shenanigans in Sweetwater school district?
These charter schools and Alliant University are part of Brand's retirement plan paid for by us. It's scarey that one man has such control over our money.— January 29, 2014 9:51 a.m.
Classroom shenanigans in Sweetwater school district?
Why in the world would Chula Vista Elem.want to use their 24% reserves to bail SUHSD out of their 10 million debt and let's not forget the Lst.property. To help a sinking ship? Would unification get rid of Brand? Does CV elem take on the San Ysidro mess as well? This plan sound like parceling out property more than unification. I'm on the fence about this until I understand a bit more how this works. Please clue me in if anyone knows where to get more information.— January 29, 2014 9:42 a.m.
Sweetwater district corruption trial postponed
Thanks Qar simply an error. I'm sure you've never made one.— January 28, 2014 6:52 p.m.
Sweetwater district corruption trial postponed
Well the new word on the street is that we can all look forward to seeing John McCann's name all over the district on the schools marquis. His bid for CV City Council is the reason. He will be visiting the school under the pretense that he isa concerned SUHSD board member checking the schools out. We were told that he is insisting that the schools put his name up so that the voters see it. We will get the names of the schools he is visiting out as soon as we get them. I'm ill,this self serving------------------ is too much. Is it wrong to hope he wins the election so we don't have to deal with him any longer? He will do less harm on a council where he's already known to be a buffoon. Here. We go again.— January 28, 2014 8:56 a.m.
Final competition of Chula Vista robotics league
Wouldn't it be great to hear about more individual success stories like this. The Robotics program has been a motivator for students since it's start. The only problem is needs to reach more kids. In this instance larger is better, regardless of cost. Go Robotics!— January 26, 2014 8:02 a.m.
Sweetwater district corruption trial postponed
Oh, I forgot to mention that if Gandara gets off we the community pay for his legal expenses as part of the contract that McCann negotiated when Gandara left. How much do you all suppose Pfingst is per hour? Pearl's attorney doesnot come cheap either and we will be paying him as well the way this looks. Does a misdemeanor change any of this I wonder.— January 25, 2014 6:31 p.m.
