What made Lowell Billings approve and then try to cover up Anthony Pavia's and James Sanford's swindle?
This trick must have been played many times at CVESD.
|
Lowell Billings most likely approved many documents that looked like this. Would you approve this salary reduction agreement if you were Assistant Superintendent for Business Services? Lowell Billings did.
|
The scanned document at right is exhibit A in the evidence against two individuals who were authorized by CVESD and the teachers union to come into classrooms and give financial advice.
|
Does Lowell Billings recognize hoaxes when he sees them?
Does he intentionally look the other way when he comes across wrongdoing, or is he innocent and incompetent?
Why did he fail to respond when informed that the people he was sending into classrooms were committing fraud?

July 7, 2005
To: Lowell Billings, Superintendent
Chula Vista Elementary School District
From: Maura Larkins
I am deeply interested in knowing why your
attorney [Kelly Angell of Stutz Artiano Shinoff &
Holtz] prepared the attached document on July
5, 2005, when I was NOT A JUDGMENT
DEBTOR.
I really would like to receive an answer, Lowell.
It’s time for you to quit hiding behind your
attorneys, allowing them to do wrong on behalf
of CVESD. Take some responsibility, Lowell.
The political links between developers and school
officials are always interesting. Developers and school
officials tend to give to Republican groups, who then
give money to school board members, sometimes
channeled through the Lincoln Club.

When a financial advisor authorized by CVESD and Chula Vista Educators contacted me, I assumed that his company must be honest. Why else would Assistant Superintendent for Business Services Lowell Billings and the teachers union (CVE) have authorized the company to come in to classrooms and use school facilities for their own private business dealings?
It never occurred to me that Billings and the people in charge at CVE might have an ulterior motive for authorizing access to teachers.

Lowell Billings becomes involved
I eventually discovered that money was being taken out of my paycheck without
my approval.
I asked Lowell Billings to provide me with a copy of the document that triggered
the withdrawals.
He refused to provide it. After repeated requests, he finally produced the
document below.

Here are the hoaxes perpetrated on one teacher by Billings'
and CVE's hand-picked profiteers.
Hoax #1
I was ignorant about stocks and shares, and I believed that I was speaking with an
advisor who could be trusted. I believed it when I was told that B shares were better
than A shares. For years I couldn't figure out why I was losing money when stocks were
gaining. When my shares finally were converted to A shares, I discovered exactly how
much I had been losing.
Hoax #2
The second hoax had to do with an investment that was portrayed at being liquid.
James Sanford and Anthony Pavia misrepresented a financial instrument, causing me to
invest $12,000. I got the money out just in time, before it was to be locked up for years.
Hoax #3
The third hoax was an investment that I never asked for (see document below, with "Life
Insurance of the South West" written in on the first line. I crossed it out as soon as I saw
it. They insisted that I initial the cross out.
Why didn't Anthony Pavia and James Sanford give me a clean form? They claimed it
was the only form they had with them.
On the second line Pavia and Sanford had written the name of the company
(Oppenheimer) with which I wanted to do business. They insisted that I cross it out and
write it on the first line. They also insisted that I initial my crossing out on the second
line.
So far, so good.
Well, it was pretty weird, but no wrongdoing had been committed yet.
The wrongdoing was committed later, when someone wrote in "Life Insurance of the
South West" on the second line.

Mr. Billings settles with Ana Stover for politically-motivated defamation

The company authorized by CVESD pulled off three hoaxes on this writer (Maura Larkins). (I am a less trusting person now.) When I informed CVESD of the problems, I was ignored.

School District cases involving Lowell Billings:
|
Ana Stover v. CVESD, Lowell Billings
The pursuit of political power at the expense of education is exposed in this lawsuit by a woman who was in line to be superintendent of Chula Vista Elementary School District, but was illegally and maliciously sabotaged because she supported Russell Coronado instead of Pamela Smith in a school board election.
This case was fought by attorney Daniel Shinoff, but was eventually settled privately.
