Marching-band metronome no bueno
Classic band director arrogance. You would think he would be more concerned about working with the community that supports the program, especially when someone is willing and eager to work with him. And no, they didn't "win" the Mt. Carmel Tournament the past two years. Numerous bands placed higher.— October 24, 2014 4:37 p.m.
Sweetwater district corruption trial postponed
Before a troll gets to it, the correct spelling is Marquee. Although Marquis may be an apt moniker...— January 28, 2014 3:36 p.m.
Picket at Sweetwater trustee Cartmill's home
Based on enrollment and Ed Code, the stipend/salary is "not to exceed $750.00 per month." Not exactly high, but they know this going in. To my knowledge, most districts have done away with "in lieu" payments for benefits for board members health coverage. Strictly anecdotal though.— January 24, 2014 3:20 p.m.
Sweetwater trustee Arlie Ricasa to resign
As has been noted, if there is no quorum due to resignations, etc, the County Board President has the option to appoint current County Board members to the vacancies until new members are elected or appointed. Sharon Jones, District 3, is the current President. She could fill just enough seats to either make appointments or call for an election. Lots of possibilities and conjecture at this point.— December 20, 2013 8:10 a.m.
Sweetwater trustee Arlie Ricasa to resign
The County will only get involved if the Sweetwater board cannot agree on an appointment. The board has 60 days to make an appointment or call for an election. According to the press release, their intention is to appoint. Again, if no agreement after 60 days, the County must call for a special election. The county board president could appoint only if there is no quorum. (EC)— December 18, 2013 7:45 p.m.
Mar Vista Middle School on the cheat?

Mar Vista Middle School on the cheat?
And, until we have an assessment system that holds students responsible for their efforts, the tests are meaningless.— October 1, 2013 9:22 p.m.
Sweetwater school board questions funds for investigators
Interestingly enough, my phone did the same. However, I am blaming it in ios7 myself. I find it fascinating that a simple statement, which was not addressed in your reply, tilts me towards the dark side. Are we so blinded by hatred that we cannot be questioned? Is not that the dark side?— September 30, 2013 7:01 a.m.
Sweetwater school board questions funds for investigators
Hmmm, I don't see anything in my letter about installing the district email on my personal computer. I believe you are mistaken on that point.— September 27, 2013 7:10 a.m.
