Who’s minding the jewels?
bingo! Cartmill has been on the SuHSD dole since 1990! It's time he disengage from the trough.— July 30, 2014 2:14 p.m.
Sweetwater land deals — the beef goes on
Missionaccomplished -- I the open enrollment plan was Fast Eddy's way out of criticism of having so many schools on improvement needed status. Of course, there was flight away from those schools to those not so designated. Newest schools really had nothing to do with those choices, parents were seeking to get away from schools that had been deemed poor performing. So, what has been, or is now being done, to improve those schools???? that is what the focus should be instead of selling and buying properties.— July 29, 2014 8:35 a.m.
Sweetwater land deals — the beef goes on
Perhaps one (or more) of the candidates who have announced intention to run for the board in the November election might take the lead in seeking such an inunction to stop the 'pending' real estate deals.— July 28, 2014 11:36 a.m.
Sweetwater land deals — the beef goes on
Perhaps a petition to have a moratorium on the real estate deals (due to the lack of legal and required process for sale of public surplus property) would be sufficient for a judge to issue an injunction to stop further activity.— July 28, 2014 10:31 a.m.
Sweetwater land deals — the beef goes on
no surprise there Susan, as almost everyone who 'addresses' the public as from the vantage of staff or paid consultant (include the lawyers who lecture on 'civility') treats the general public (that would be the taxpayers who foot the bill for their pay) with an exceedingly and pervasive cavalier attitude. "Let them eat cake" seems to be their motto.— July 27, 2014 12:41 p.m.
Sweetwater land deals — the beef goes on
thank you joepublic for providing the link to the specifics of the law regarding surplus property. As I have stated before, it seems to me that if the process was not followed (looks like it was not) that any and all agreements for disposing of ANY district property would be null and void. I also think that the idea floated by another commenter about seeking a court injunction against proceeding on ANY of the so-called agreements that deal with district property is a good one.— July 24, 2014 6:07 p.m.
We don’t want the stinkin’ charter expansion
Eastlaker....good points and ideas. While we are at it (looking at those contracted-for programs run for Sweetwater students, let's not forget the South Bay Community Services programs, which are renewed each year in the SUHSD budget, and quite costly. I am not implying they are not good for the students, just that the SBCS programs ought to be subject to checking for value received as a routine matter.— July 19, 2014 3:02 p.m.
Cartmill for Sweetwater board — get real
but it is apparently impossible for "Pastor" Jim to give up the benefits, the stipend, all those meals, and the electronic toys he came to rely upon during his 20-plus year-tenure on the board. And then he got caught.....— July 18, 2014 4:31 p.m.
Cartmill for Sweetwater board — get real
Cartmill is certainly a poster boy for hubris! We can thank her honor, Judge Espana, for not putting an end to his political so-called career. He was removed from his office only because the District's own bylaws required it...if it had been left to the judge, she would have given him a pass because his actions were not as egregious as some of the others. Let's not forget that Cartmill was indicted many times over (not just a few) for taking more money than was legally allowed, and then 'forgetting' to report it as required by law. That his vote was for sale is no less evident than for the perps who the judge made resign. Shame on him for even thinking about a bid to 'represent' the public...he only represents himself and his unfettered greed. I do hope campaign literature will iterate ALL the indictments the Grand Jury filed against him as well as the fact that he was removed from office.— July 18, 2014 11:17 a.m.
We don’t want the stinkin’ charter expansion
Now that Fast Eddy is supposed to be gone, John McCann really can't think for himself...he may vote with the majority to curry their favor or to say he actually voted against something the District proposed. Who knows, because trying to figure out what's on his mind is pretty scary stuff.— July 17, 2014 1:16 p.m.
