Well, I see nothing has changed back in the Centinela Valley Union High School District. Cronyism, greed, malfeasance, corruption, machine politics and you-name-it still permeates the district. The CVUHSD includes Hawthorne, Lennox and Lawndale. From what's happening now, the district could include the City of Bell.
I used to live in the Hawthorne area (I attended Hawthorne High School) and once ran for the CVUSHD School Board in 1977. If I hadn't run, the election would have been cancelled.
According to The Blaze:
A school superintendent in California got an earful earlier this week when parents were given the chance during an emergency meeting to question his supposedly excessive salary.
“You should all step down and walk away from this! This is ridiculous! This is nuts, this is crazy! I give my wife everything! I do anything I can for my wife! I’m sleeping with her! Who are you sleeping with?” one man shouted during the meeting.
Jose Fernandez, who oversees the Centinela Valley Union High School District in Lawndale, Calif., reportedly earned $663,000 in 2013, according to KCAL-TV.
His district includes only three high schools with a combined total of 6,500 students.
The district also reportedly floated Fernandez a loan of more than $900,000 at 2 percent interest over 40 years. The loan was granted at a time when the superintendent had already declared bankruptcy.It appears that the school district didn't learn anything from the corruption scandal of the City of Bell. $663k for a school superintendent?! Plus a 2% loan for $900k?!
