PTA Embezzlement
Felicia Starr, who took extraordinary measures to
put fellow parent Kim Simmons in a position to
embezzle $20,000 from Castle Park Elementary
PTA in 2004-2995, is running for the CVESD board!
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.
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 Willard
Howard is again trying to be a
spoiler in this race.

Seat 5
LARRY CUNNINGHAM (R) 2006
Republican Party endorsed
LARRY CUNNINGHAM (R) 2006
Republican Party endorsed
| Endorsements made by La Prensa seem to involve no logic at all. 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. |
