In 2004, a small group of Castle Park
Elementary teachers who had
committed or covered-up serious and
repeated violations of law were
supported by the ubiquitous Felicia
Starr.  

Starr  opposed the district  when it tried to transfer abusive
teachers and clean up Castle Park in 2004.


PTA Embezzlement

Starr, as a member of the Castle Park Elementary School
Site Council, did little to help the Chula Vista Police
Department retrieve the $20,000 that went missing from
PTA accounts in 2005.

Starr wrote to the San Diego Union Tribune in 2004:

"As the parent of 11 children, all who have attended or are
attending Castle Park Elementary School...I have been
involved with this school for 15 years, 12 of which I have
been an active member of the [School Site Council] and PTA.


I have chaired the Budget Advisory Committee the past two
years for the district (Chula Vista Elementary School
District).  I now am spending every free moment working on
the protest rallies, speaking to the board, writing letters and
hand delivering them to all board members, as well as
numerous phone calls trying to get our teachers back.  I will
not stop trying to make the superintendent, principal, and
the district accountable for their erroneous actions.

I have personally seen the ineptness of the principal at our
site and have complained to Dr. Lowell Billings, the
superintendent, about him. All to no avail other than to see
our Castle Park family ripped apart."



4.  Starr and her hand-picked successor as PTA president,
Kim Simmons, went to the Star-News and maliciously
criticized the Castle Park principal and the "Mexican
parents."


One good thing has resulted from Starr's  refusal to allow
"Mexican parents" to become PTA officeholders:  none of
those parents are suspected embezzlers!
Starr was involved in the turmoil in the decade preceding
2004.


PTA Arrest
Of course the police didn't want to know what happened to
the $20,000 that disappeared from Castle Park's PTA in
2005; that would have embarrassed Cheryl Cox.  

So the police waited for a year, did a slap-dash
investigation, arrested Kim Simmons without having enough
information to prosecute her, and then District Attorney
Bonnie Dumanis dropped the whole thing.  

6.  Why didn't Starr complain during the years leading up to
2004, when many excellent teachers were forced out of
Castle Park Elementary by a small group of teachers that
controlled the school?  Was Starr in on that?

7. Starr helped incumbent Pamela Smith cover up her
wrongdoing, then ran against her.  What was she  thinking?  
She lost because she wasn't  the incumbent--and she
couldn't tell the truth.


8.Taxpayers should not continue to pay huge legal bills for
teachers who refuse to obey the law.  Castle Park teachers
and union leaders should not continue to hold students
hostage to their demands.

Russell Coronado
candidate for
CVESD school
board in 2006
than either Felicia
Starr or
incumbent
Pamela Smith

RUSSELL
CORONADO,
principal and
counselor, would be
an excellent
replacement for Pam
Smith.

Strangely, candidate
Felicia Starr is
strikingly similar to
Pam Smith, and not
just in appearance.

Both women have
worked overtime to
exacerbate problems
at Castle Park
Elementary.

Pam Smith is
perceived to be
anti-union, and
Felicia Starr is
perceived to be
pro-union, but the
truth is, they are
both simply
pro-strife.

Perrennial also-ran

SAN DIEGO EDUCATION REPORT
Seat 5
LARRY CUNNINGHAM (R)
2006
Republican Party endorsed  
endorsements made by La
Prensa seems to use no
logic at all in its choices.  
I disagree with many of
these choices, but I think
they are interesting.  
La Prensa
October 30, 1998

Chula Vista Elementary
School District

La Prensa San Diego cannot in
all good sense recommend
candidate Bertha Lopez

A candidate for an Elementary
School District post must be
above reproach in conduct,
morals, and ethical conduct.
With a police record on file for
"Domestic Violence" and a
Restraining order against her
on July 1993. We cannot in
good sense consider her a fit
candidate to guide the future of
our children.

[Maura Larkins' note:  It
turns out that Bertha Lopez
has been no worse than any
of the candidates that La
Prensa endorsed.]



Seat 1 - La Prensa San Diego
recommends REY MONZON as
far away the most qualified
candidate with an impeccable
character, morals, and values.

[Maura Larkins note:
Monzon did not win, and that
is probably best for him.  He
is completely innocent of the
illegal actions of Pam Smith,
Larry Cunningham, Patrick
Judd, Bertha Lopez and
Cheryl Cox.]


Seat 3 - We endorse the
reelection of Pamela B. Smith...


Seat 5 - Larry Cunningham
deserves our support even
though at first he was...


SWEETWATER UNION HIGH
SCHOOL DISTRICT

Seat 1 - Jim Cartmill is our man.
For his support in helping hold
the Board together with the
trials and tribulations that
followed the Supt, Trujillo firing,
the trauma of the Supt, Rindon
illness, and providing the
support for Supt. Brand, we
think Cartmill earn the right for
one more term.

VOTE FOR JIM CARTMILL



Seat 3 - Encumbent Greg
Sandoval lost our support with
his appearance on a Right Wing
voter guide supporting the
entire Radical Right Wing
agenda. The guide indicates
that he supports the leader of
the anti-bilingual programs in
our schools.

Our vote goes to candidate
Jose Lopez who led the expose
of Supt. Trujillo and led to his
firing from the district. He had
the courage to speak out while
the rest of the insiders kept
quiet. He earns our vote. He
has already shown he cares
about our kids.

VOTE FOR JOSE LOPEZ



Seat 5 - Are you willing to let
Arlie Ricasa BUY a seat on the
school board? It is obscene for
her to spend $49,000 dollars to
get a seat on a school board.
That is almost enough to win an
Assembly seat. Inexperience,
young and evidently owned by
some heavy hitters from Los
Angeles, we wonder what the
price is to sell out our kids! Not
only that, she joined Greg
Sandoval in endorsing the
entire Right Wing slate in
California. I wonder how much
Sandoval got... It's not on his
campaign disclosure statements.

Have to go with the hard hitting
Granny RUTH CHAPMAN, we
know she is a straight shooter
that has only one interest: Her
Kids in the Sweetwater School
District.

VOTE FOR RUTH CHAPMAN


Community Colleges:
San Diego Community College
District
La Prensa recommends that the
following selections be made for
Districts A, C, & E:

District A; MARIA NIETO
SENOUR

District C: KARA KOBEY

District E: JIM MACK



Grossmont-Cuyamaca
Community College District
La Prensa San Diego is of the
opinion that Rick Alexander &
Rebecca Clark should be voted
out of office. Perhaps
Rebecca's mother can find
something else to do other then
running the college through her
daughter. Rick has disrupted
the operations of the colleges
long enough. He should go to
Alpine and join Mrs. Clark in
doing whatever she does out
there. We support the following
candidates:

Seat 1: C. SCOTT CIOFFI

Seat 2: STEVE JONES

Seat 5: LISA DE JESUS



Grossmont Union High School
District

After a number of years of
turmoil, the time is here now to
vote in members of the Board
who do not have particular Ax to
grind. The opportunity is here to
vote three new members and
get back to the business of
education. La Prensa
recommends the follow
candidates:

Kenneth L. Blalack

James P. Miller

Linda A. Potter



San Diego Unified School District

District B: Sue Braun
unfortunately sold out to the
Chamber of Commerce and
took money from them for this
election. That poisons the well
and La Prensa cannot support
her reelection. We need free
and independent Board
members that do not have to
ask the Chamber how to vote.
La Prensa recommends:

District B- MICHAEL MIKE
McSWEENY

District C- JOHN DE BECK


SCHOOL DISTRICTS
San Ysidro School Dist.
Does San Ysidro need
inexperienced persons
administering and overseeing a
$220 MILLION BUDGET? We
think not. Over 4000 students
depend on their School Board
to assure that the receive a
good education. La Prensa San
Diego recommends the
REELECTION OF:

Jean Romero, Yolanda
Hernandez

Juan Tirado



SOUTHWESTERN COMMUNITY
COLLEGE
Three seats are open. In seat 2,
Terri Valladolid chose not to run
for office. Seat 4 and 5, two
experience office holders are
running for reelection. La
Prensa San Diego recommends
the reelection of G. Gorden
Browning, Robert Bareno, and
Maria Perman for seats 2, 4,
and 5.


NATIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
REELECT: Rosalie Alvarado,
Anne Campball, and Frank
Perez. There was no opposition
to them on the ballot.
SITE MAP
CVESD board race 2008

Seat 2
Archie McAllister is the people's candidate.  He's endorsed by the
Republican party in his race against another Republican, David Bejarano.  
He is also endorsed by a Democrat--me!

No to Norberto
Norberto Salazar is on the ballot for the same reason as David
Bejarano--to maintain the status quo.  Salazar is a spoiler,
running for the purpose of splitting the anti-incumbent vote.  A vote for
Salazar is a vote for Bejarano.
