I am shocked to learn that it cost the SUHSD over 250K to get rid of a superintendent so incompetent that teachers, principals and parents had to petition the board to fire her. who were the board members who supposedly vetted her and hired her? Something is wrong with the laws protecting people in high places from the consequences of their poor performances. How much PPE, or computers/tablets could have been purchased with that money???

Quarter of a million dollar salaries for public servants at the county level? Quarter of a million dollar "bribe" to pay off a bureaucrat fired for incompetence in order to avoid law suits, legal fees, and bad publicity? We live in an ever more litigious society where expensive lawyer confrontations are the rule rather than the exception. And government bureaucracies are among the most vulnerable.

To SUHSD: please don’t come to property owners begging for a property tax increase to supply you with increased funding for your district. You obviously are swimming in money, otherwise you would not be giving away quarter million dollar payments to get rid of seemingly incompetent employees. Most companies, who are answerable to shareholders and boards, would fire with cause. When you don’t earn the money you have in your budget, it’s really easy to be wasteful and cavalier in how you spend it. When do we begin to hold these people accountable for wasting taxpayer’s money?

You need to write your administrative contracts with strict legal guidelines. This is so unfair to the taxpayers!!
