Transparent as mud in Chula Vista
Yes, exactly! These are the words the County Board of Education needs to hear, and all politicians as well. We simply cannot have all these people/groups/agendas carving out little empires from our public educational funds! Thanks for putting in words what I have been thinking for some time.— March 3, 2015 4:19 p.m.

Could Escobedo have been in on it from the get-go? Or convinced to go along to get along? (That is the old Sweetwater way, supposedly...) Curiously, there are several individuals who have jumped from positions in the South Bay Elementary School District board (basically the Imperial Beach area) to Chula Vista Elementary. South Bay is also working on some charter schools that have brought up some questions among those in the neighborhoods. I worry there could be a 'creeping taint' among our school districts whereby opportunists see dollar signs where they are supposed to see students.— March 2, 2015 5:27 p.m.

I remember reading in other comments that some of the students attending this charter school are children or grandchildren of previous board members. If that is the case, it looks like an elaborate scheme to put together essentially a private school for the benefit of a few well-connected people. Oh--and it was also mentioned to an individual in the neighborhood that they had been told that if their child/children were GATE students, they would be able to attend the charter school. So, picking and choosing by test scores and family connections, multi-million dollar costs for the district--and no one is called on this debacle?? Where was the County Board of Education when all this was happening? Was it nap time? I can only think that the reputation of the County Board of Education is so low that the unscrupulous think all of our schools are fair game. With the example of Ed Brand, Dianne Russo and a few others, I guess we are teaching the wrong things....this nonsense and abuse of public education facilities and dollars must be stopped!— March 2, 2015 11:39 a.m.

bogosity--rhymes with atrocity, neologism for verbiage that doesn't pass the sniff test. E.g., the above.— February 27, 2015 9:56 a.m.

I would advise all concerned with what is taking place in with this school site to listen to what anniej says. Communities need to show up in numbers and be prepared to speak up. Study everything your school board has on the agenda. Call the superintendent. Call your principals, Call your trustees. Email them, use snail mail. Make sure your voices are heard. The special interest groups are on the march, and they know how to manipulate the system. If you care at all about public education, get involved!— February 27, 2015 9:48 a.m.

In the way I read this, you are absolutely correct, in that secondary school students cannot be "in district" in an elementary (primary) school district. It is a logical impossibility.— February 26, 2015 8:20 a.m.
