Sweetwater Union High School District Borrowing on Bond Funds?
This article is categorically untrue and one-sided. We demand that you retract the story and offer an apology to the district and the dedicated employees whose integrity you called into question. Contrary to what the story asserted, there has been no borrowing of Prop O funds to cover district operating expenses since October 2011, when the board of trustees issued a directive to staff to stop the practice. A story involving the use of public funds deserves a more thorough examination and more careful reporting than was applied here. In this case, the reporter “consulted” only with district detractors who drew false conclusions based on misunderstandings. As presented, the story was completely inaccurate. The reporter did not bother to seek clarification or comment from anyone in the district administration. Had she done so, she would have been invited to sit down with the interim deputy superintendent of operations to review the district budget records to get a clear understanding of district finances. That offer still stands, should the Reader care to report news rather than hearsay. Edward M. Brand, Ed.D. Superintendent Sweetwater Union High School District— June 11, 2012 11:05 a.m.
