THIS WEEK’S WEB POLL:
Do you believe administrators at MACSA who used teacher retirement funds for operational expenses at El Portal Leadership Academy should be criminally prosecuted?
Yes: 6 No: 6
■ YES, but maybe the Grand Jury should investigate first.
■ Yes. Willfull breaking of the law requires prosecution and possible shutting down of the charter school if further budgetary malfeasance is demonstrated.
■ No. There needs to be ramifications but I don’t think it should be criminal.
■ They should be prosecuted! Stealing is illegal! It is totally wrong and of course they will get away with it. Things are tough all over, don’t steal from your employees.
■ No. It was a bad decision but no money went for personal use. The money was used to keep the agency afloat. What happens will be determined by a court of law. It could have been avoided if handled differently.
■ No, and I hate to see the reputation destroyed of a community-based organization that has done so much for Gilroy. These are desperate times for community based organizations. MACSA used desperate methods to keep line staff employed.
