Sweetwater University to “Open” Soon?
Here we go again. The Sweetwater Education Foundation, is not dormant any longer. The foundation for profit for a few of the top feeders like Brand. This is like revisiting a bad dream. The best question in this article is why not partner up with Southwestern College that is accredited through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges or San Diego State where our students will eventually attend? The answer is simple we want our students to pay more money for their classes to a profit based college and involve the Sweetwater Education Foundation in order for money to be sifted off the top. Isn't the name of our school district Sweetwater Union High School District? We have14 schools in program improvement Olympian High has just been added to the walk of shame. I guess Brand wants the honor of having the first University in program improvement,because he certainly hasn't addressed this issue.— November 28, 2012 10:58 p.m.
Shades of Sweetwater at Calexico Unified School District
I keep waiting for something to happen. I don't want to loose hope just yet. What's this Grand Jury thing about? Any ideas. Maybe more indictments, or charges against the Sweetwater mob?— November 21, 2012 8:40 p.m.

You have stated it correctly. I couldn't agree more.Every time someone from GCR moves their lips it's a lie. Good research ms. Luzzaro.— November 21, 2012 8:35 p.m.
Willie Gandara, Jr. sentenced to 6 1/2 years
Thanks for keeping the community abreast of this story. Hopefully our DA can help Uncle Jesus Gandara get some time for his activities here in SD. No, federal prison just good old state prison. Maybe Donovan would be a good choice since Gandara liked SD so much.— November 15, 2012 3:42 p.m.
Sweetwater Schools Forum Makes Policy Clear as Mud
My fear is that this emboldened board ( by Brand) will soon bring up the legal fees again. Ricasa has a special defense account set up that you can see on line. I'm afraid that we taxpayers will be paying the fees,because of a silent community. The start of the hearings are inJan.i— November 15, 2012 9:25 a.m.

Former Charger Seeks Seat on Sweetwater Schools Board
Anyone who wants to know what Grossman stands for only needs to read the rear flap on his book. Take a look,it's offensive. It appears gays,women and the n word as he says are the problem with this world. His favorite word is moron. He needs to look in the mirror and see a real moron. His type of prejudice is not the norm, thank God. His opinions on Affirmative Action is repulsive. Hopefully this is past tense in his life, and he has grown up. But I will not be voting for him.— November 3, 2012 10:11 a.m.
Bob Filner Picks Up Sizeable Change
We can't be surprised! Pay to Play is doing well in San Diego. Ask Indicted board members Pearl Quinones and Arlie Ricassa from Sweetwater. We all know that Filner and Varga attended Pearl's birthday party and campaign kickoff. They donated money as well, that's how the corruption perpetuates. The City of San Diego is in trouble with no viable candidate for mayor. Glad I live in the county.— November 1, 2012 6:50 a.m.
