Another Sweetwater board meeting mired in disagreement
Has anyone heard what's happening with the district's latest felon, Al Alt?— May 29, 2013 1:03 a.m.
Sweetwater school district board seeks to silence opposition
It's stunning that that the district has kept Al Alt even after learning of his past. There is no hope for your district.— April 3, 2013 9:26 p.m.
New Sweetwater Union financial officer has controversial past
Wouldn't the major news papers in Southern Cal be interested in a multiple felon getting hired in a high school district? Isn't there a way to get Governor Brown's attention on this issue? Isn't it worth a try? These days, frankly, Californians are so tired of their state's corruption, on all levels, and are understandably jaded--so they've become a little lazy when it comes to fighting. They just think, "Oh, well, it's just good ol' corrupt California." And it's this laziness that these cronies depend on. They know you're not going to fight hard enough. Yes, these fights are damned hard work. It all just depends on how much you care for your district's children. Are you going to "care" and take the unnecessary steps to fight, or are you just going to grab a drink and forget? In the world before antibiotics, you had to open up the infected sore, drain it, and then pour alcohol over it; otherwise, the infection would worsen. We don't have antibiotics for this kind of institutional infection; therefore, it must be opened up.— February 9, 2013 8:18 p.m.

Al Alt will destroy your district; your board was so reckless with its choice! Indeed, they chose a multiple felon to handle their district's budget. They hired a multiple felon to further their agenda, if they even know what their agenda is. Most board members are, at best, apathetic and luxuriously happy with their perks—oh, but do they know how to pretend otherwise? They know how to act authoritative in the right places, elegant in the right places, decisive in the right places. What gamesters. Each has his/her own board-member shtick. Most of them can't wait to get out of that damned board room to get a stiff drink! Is a multiple felon a good role model for young students? I wonder how students feel right now. I wonder if they trust their district. If the district doesn't know how to behave, then why should students behave? Actually, you've stripped yourselves of the right to ever punish students for misdeeds. Perhaps you deserve no less than student mayhem. This choice to hire a criminal isn't just counter intuitive; it indicates deep institutional infection. The board, in a fit of desperation, may try to justify hiring a multiple felon; if they do so, a higher authority must step in and fire them. If the board fires Al Alt, immediately, you've got a good board.— February 9, 2013 6:25 a.m.
