Citizens in the Centinela Valley Union School District (the Hawthorne-Lawndale area of Los Angeles County) have taken the initial steps in recalling the district's school board members for fleecing the district's taxpayers by:
- Giving Superintendent Jose Fernandez a fat $663,000 salary.
- Giving Fernandez a sweetheart $900,000 loan at 2% for 40 years.
The district is comprised of only three high schools with a combined total of 6,500 students. This hardly warrants giving the superintendent a salary of $663,000. The superintendent of the L.A. Unified School District has a much larger district with many more students, yet his salary is nowhere near as much. The loan was granted at a time when the superintendent had already declared bankruptcy. He sure sounds like great risk for a $900K loan, doesn't he?
Although the board recently fired Fernandez, that doesn't let the board members off the hook for voting for the extravagant salary and the the sweetheart loan.
The recall campaign has set up a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Recall-Centinela-School-Board/1456803904593704
And, they have also set up a Twitter page: https://twitter.com/RecallCentinela
If you agree that these board members must go, visit either (or both) sites.
