DEAR EDITOR:
I hope all tax-paying voters read Lori Stuenkel’s front page article, “Free Speech violated?” in The Dispatch on Friday, Jan. 16. I particularly hope those who voted for the last school tax – I mean “bond” read the article.
Mr. Edwin Diaz, our school district superintendent, paid $3,000, “which could go as high as $30,000”, to an attorney to get information that Ms. Stuenkel got in one afternoon, and the school district’s attorney came up empty-handed. After spending $3,000. of money which could have gone toward educating our children, Mr. Diaz admits in his letter to the editor (in the same Jan. 16 paper) that the district found no one who saw the famous GHS petition, but Ms. Stuenkel found 12 students who signed it. Mr. Diaz should have paid Ms. Stuenkel the $3,000.
Mr. Diaz would have us believe that instead of waiting for Mrs. Williams or Alex to complain “under the district’s complaint procedure” he hired an attorney to investigate. Does any one out there know that there is a proper “district complaint procedure?”
Mrs. Shairon Williams AND her daughter Alex had verbally complained but their complaint went unacknowledged apparently because they had not “followed procedure.”
This whole issue is turning into a financial nightmare for GUSD because Mr. Bob Bravo, GHS’s principal, and Mr. Diaz refuse to admit to a possible mistake made last year. Mrs. Williams, Alex’s mother, has said all she asked for was a public apology which would have ended the whole thing. But instead, education funds are being used to try to cover up the mess, opening up the way to a possible lawsuit.
Besides the money issue, what is this behavior by two “educators” teaching our children?
