Sweetwater Schools Chief Walks Away Before Q&A on Dirt
The dirty lies the district has expounded over what has become known as Mt. Armstrong or Lake Armstrong depending on the season was totally unnecessary. Brand inherited the problem from Gandara. Brand's mistake was trying to cover up the situation with his infamous lies. He would have served the public and the district better with the truth. But I guess once you get in the habit it's hard to break.— August 19, 2012 6:24 p.m.
Nephew To Former Sweetwater Superintendent Pleads Guilty
Gandara goes on trial along with Quionones,Ricasa,and Sandoval on Jan.7th or 9th. I forgot for certain but it will appear in all the news media I'm sure. If you check the County records you will see that Ricasa has a defense fund and has taken donations to pay for her attorney. She lent herself 50,000 dollars to aid in this situation. I hope someone out there can explain how this is done? Reader please let us know what sentence is handed down.— August 18, 2012 1:05 p.m.
Education News in the Sweetwater Union High School District
eastlaker, I agree you would think that the people would be upset about having their Melloroos increased without public notice. Someone needs to get people organized.— August 17, 2012 11:41 a.m.
Education News in the Sweetwater Union High School District
Unfortunately the District doesn't give the new public relations lady anything to publish except things that show them in a positive light. This is the first time that the public has been notified I bet. Well you are correct the four schools you are referring to are impacted so completely that they didn't have enough food or classes to put them in. The dist has been stretching the truth about the capacity of the schools. Nothing has changed. Change will only come when the hen house is cleaned. Hopefully the mella- roos parentss will get motivated to make change.— August 15, 2012 6:14 p.m.

Sweetwater's Bond Oversight Committee Calls Special Meeting
We finally have the real deal a BOC with members that compliment each others skill set. The best part is that they all have integrity. They seem willing to shake the tree without fear of retaliation from Brand. Does anyone have more info on prop 39? Does it really say an administrator can not be on the interview panel?— August 10, 2012 7:52 a.m.
Sweetwater School District Kids Face Bus Cuts
Thanks Reader for printing the truth about the Boars vote one the transportation issue,it opened the eyes of many people.— August 7, 2012 8:11 a.m.
Sweetwater School District Kids Face Bus Cuts
If the entire Board said no to the Charter School ( Lopez said no). If the entire Board said no it's not time for IPADS the safety of our children comes first (Lopez said no) we would not be I this situation. Why did the board vote to raise the Melloroos at the last board mtg.(except Lopez)? I hope that the parents are aware of these facts and continue to fight for their kids. I hear McCann got caught by the parents in one of his infamous lies. He was pretending to support them and they found out he voted for the mileage increase. Business as usual at Sweetwater.— August 7, 2012 8:09 a.m.
Dust Devil Settles in Southwest High’s Dumped-Dirt Debacle
How interesting. This is definitely worth looking at. I remember whenPearl got her son hired by the district. People were livid about this but no one knew what to do. It is too late to file now I assume. Can we file before Grossman wins the election? Can he be prevented from running? Everyone is talking about how Cartmill is saying people should look at Grossman because he'd be an asset to the district. McCann has been soliciting people to run against Lopez to no avail as yet. These folks are really something else,turning on Pearl one of their own. At first I thought Brand was doing this to split the vote,but I was wrong,,they want Grossman. I hear he's already drawn first blood against Pearl. I doubt she even gets it. Thanks for the info. I will go on the site and check.— July 31, 2012 2:08 p.m.
