One day after receiving the 3 grievances below, CVESD violated California law by mailing a letter threatening dismissal to Maura Larkins. What is in these documents (see links below) that the district could not tolerate? Why did PERB and OAH look the other way? They were trying to help the district, or CTA, or both. Did they help them? Not much. The district and CTA would have been better off if they had been required to follow the law before they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on lawyers to keep wrongdoing covered up.

Such Good Friends! What kind of assistance did CVE President Jim Groth give to Asst. Superintendent Rick Werlin as Werlin violated the law and the contract in the Larkins case? Jim Groth pretended to file a grievance on Maura Larkins' behalf, but did not file it. A copy of the grievance was given to Larkins, but she was not allowed to attend her own grievance meeting. Of course, this makes perfect sense now that court discovery has revealed that the meeting never took place. To put the finishing touches on the hoax (one of several perpetrated through the joint efforts of CVE and CVESD), Richard Werlin officially responded to the "grievance"! |

Grievance #3 Maura Larkins filed this grievance regarding Werlin's behavior on April 20, 2001. Jim Groth refused to support her effort to get a response to this grievance from Richard Werlin! It was fine with Jim Groth that Richard Werlin ignored the grievance. Tim O'Neill admitted that he also had not received a response from Richard Werlin to the grievance. |
As evidence of how closely Gina Boyd and Jim Groth were working with the district, here is Werlin's official response to Jim Groth's unfiled grievance. Werlin helped corrupt union leaders fool Maura Larkins into believing that they were representing her. |
(The Elementary Education Relations Act) |
The above hoax grievance was mailed to Maura Larkins to make her believe that Chula Vista Educators were representing her. In sworn testimony, Gina Boyd testified that Jim Groth's hoax grievance had never been filed. |
Gina Boyd's fax to Maura Larkins in which she writes that the hoax grievance has been filed. |
for a statement of the allegations against Maura Larkins. This was the last thing Jim Groth, Gina Boyd and Tim O'Neill wanted. Such a statement would have revealed the truth about crimes committed by close personal friends of Gina Boyd at Castle Park Elementary. Groth, Boyd and O'Neill were working closely with the teachers who had made false allegations against Maura Larkins. |
A teacher can be fired for dishonesty. At CVESD, however, teachers are pressured by the union and the district to tell lies, even when under oath! Perhaps not surprisingly, many of the teachers in CVESD who were most dishonest in the Larkins are also cruel to children who tell untruths. The teachers who lied caused harm to children because by their actions they taught children that dishonesty pays. The children at Castle Park Elementary knew that Maura Larkins was always kind to them, and never yelled at them, because she respected them as human beings. Teachers who don't respect other human beings got control of Castle Park. Castle Park will never fully recover until wrongs are righted, and the truth is told. |
How far did CVESD and CVE go to cover up their crimes? |
