| Monica Sorenson rewarded by district for helping cover up the facts in the Maura Larkins' case (and perhaps other cases)? Being chosen as a principal is an indication that the candidate has practiced political correctness as defined by the district. If the district feels you're not loyal, it doesn't matter how good an administrator you are. You won't be hired. Short Takes | South June 18, 2009 San Diego Union Tribune Chula Vista district has new principals CHULA VISTA: Three new principals have recently been appointed to run campuses in the Chula Vista Elementary School District. Richard Hanks, who had been principal at Palmer Way Elementary School in National City, will lead Hedenkamp Elementary in eastern Chula Vista. Monica Sorenson, who had been a teachers union leader in the district, will serve as principal of Chula Vista Hills Elementary. Del Merlan, an educator from Central California, has been appointed principal of Casillas Elementary. Five associate principals also were promoted to principal. The school year begins July 27. –C.M.

| How does one get elected to CVE office? First of all, you don't ask too many questions about illegal activities. If you do, then CVE and CTA leaders can't trust you, can they? Second, you have to have Jim Groth's support. To get it, you have to agree not to criticize wrongdoing. Monica Sorenson kept her mouth shut for four years. Then Monica Sorenson became Vice President of CVE in 2007. As a lawyer, she risked more than the other CVE directors when she kept her mouth shut about crimes committed by CVE. She could conceivably lose her license to practice law if the California Bar Association were ever to demand that lawyers not suborn perjury and commit crimes on behalf of powerful organizations like CTA. But that doesn't seem likely to happen. So Monica felt safe, along with CTA chief counsel Beverly Tucker and her subordinate, Michael Hersh, who clearly feel that the law profession, particularly when it is combined with political power, is untouchable. |
