Update 2010: Karin Winner has left the SDUT; so has Chris Jennewein,
who has moved to SDNN.
Why do Karin Winner (editor of the San Diego
Union Tribune) and Chris Jennewein (Signonsandiego, the SDUT's
website) censor stories about corrupt school attorneys? The SDUT's
deeply-censored coverage of problems at Castle Park Elementary from
2003 through 2004 was a disgrace to journalism.
Who wrote the anonymous stories about Castle Park Elementary? At
least one (and probably all) of the anonymous stories was written by
Don Sevrens. Who tossed out all the letters to the editor that told the
real story? Again, it must be noted that Don Sevrens has been closely
involved with the editorial board for many years, and in 2010 has come
out of his anonymity and is now listed as a member of the editorial
board.

they violate the law on behalf of school districts. This has resulted in
legal problems and increased payments to lawyers.

with breaking the law, not on how to follow it. And who is responsible
for supervising Crosier and her stable of lawyers? Diane Crosier's

Credit Where Credit Is Due
Superintendent Randy Ward deserves credit for coming up with a solution
to the problem of how to get good teachers to go to the worst schools.
(Of course, some teachers who do fine in upscale schools might actually
perform poorly in poor schools. Only teachers who can work well with
poor kids should be sent to schools in low socio-economic areas.) When
he was working for Oakland schools, he came up with a funding plan in
which poor schools could choose to use their funds to pay for
higher-salaried teachers.
When will San Diego implement this excellent idea?

CVESD (Chula Vista Elementary School District) recently defended its
own lawyers. If you paid a lawyer a huge amount of money to defend
you, and he violated the law, would you pay even more to defend him?
Not likely--unless you had ASKED him to violate the law on your behalf.
Also, if it wasn't your own money you were spending, it would be easier
to throw good money after bad. CVESD board members and
administrators were not using their own money. They were using the
taxpayers' money.

document at its deposition

appeared on behalf of Stutz

to be deposed. They pulled
off their microphones and
walked out after I said I
would apologize, take down
my website, and pay them
for any financial harm IF
my statements about them
proved to be false. I asked
them to give me some

pointed out that their
refusal to produce

There are two possible reasons for using tax dollars to defend lawyers
for wrongdoing. One is that the public officials support the wrongful
actions; they wanted their lawyers to disregard the law, or simply didn't
care if they broke the law. The other possible reason is indemnification,
either by outright agreement or by "gentlemen's agreement" (to use the
words of Grossmont USD Supt Terry Ryan to describe an agreement
with a district lawyer).

The California Bar Association told me that it will not take complaints
from citizens against lawyers who have opposed the citizens in court
cases.
The Bar accepts, but rarely acts on, complaints from clients about their
own lawyers.
Since the Bar Association refuses to protect the public from unethical
(and worse) lawyers, the public has a right to protect itself from
officers of the court who violate the law.
