Teacher Who
Initiated Crime
Wave at Castle
Park Elementary
Is Now Famous
for Stock Fraud
Robin Colls Donlan,
famous as one of the
"Castle Park Five,"
earned a prominent
place in Castle Park
History for committing
crimes from 2000-2004
and getting the school
district to pay
$100,000's of public
dollars to cover up those
crimes. Then Donlan
filed a charge against
the district for
transferring her and the
"Castle Park Five" out of
the school.
It turned out that
Donlan, Peggie Myers,
Nikki Perez and
Stephenie Parker Pettit
were a lot more
interested in talking to
the press than they
were in testifying in
court about crimes at
Castle Park Elementary.
(Stephenie Pettit
refused to testify at all,
claiming she was too
busy on every single day
of her summer vacation
to testify.)
Now Robin Donlan and
her husband Vencent
Donlan are being
investigated by the FBI,
SEC, IRS and
Department of Justice
for fraudulently
obtaining stock options,
buying the stocks, and
reselling them for $7.7
million profit.
Update: May 22, 2007
Robin Donlan has
changed completely.
When talking to the FBI,
she has demonstrated a
profound shift in attitude.
After years of secrets and lies, Robin Donlan
is finally talking
David Washburn of the San Diego Union Tribune wrote on May 18, 2007,
regarding the recent lawsuit against Vencent Donlan and his wife Robin
Donlan, "...Robin Donlan, who teaches fourth grade at Hilltop Drive
Elementary in Chula Vista, is cooperating with federal investigators to an
“unprecedented degree.”
Any cooperation at all from Robin Donlan in the investigation of crime is
unprecedented, in my experience.
Robin's lawyer David Hiden said "she has waived attorney-client and spousal
privileges and agreed to informal interviews."
In a civil lawsuit filed about four years ago against Robin Donlan for
misdemeanors committed against Maura Larkins at Castle Park Elementary
School District, Robin's entire defense was based on attorney-client
privilege. Her argument was that any subject she had ever discussed with
her attorney was something she should not have to answer questions about.
Robin answered only ONE written interrogatory in San Diego Superior Court
case no. 781970, and she answered it EIGHT MONTHS after it was served on
her, when she knew that the plaintiff had already found out the answer to the
question. (The answer was found by a private investigator at a cost of
several hundred dollars.) Robin Donlan's brother, Michael Carlson, who is a
sheriff's deputy in Santa Barbara, never answered a single interrogatory, nor
showed up for a deposition. But perhaps he could be helpful in the current
case. He could tell his sister that he puts people in jail all the time for being
in possession of stolen property.
While Robin Colls Donlan's cooperation in answering questions is clearly a
brand new behavior, some of her other behavior hasn't changed at all.
Robin ensnared a lot of her friends in her crimes, but they all stood loyally by
her, claiming the same attorney-client privilege, and committing felonies to
cover up her misdemeanors. Robin, on the other hand, seems to have turned
against her husband. That's probably wise, since the FBI might be a bit
tougher than Robin's victim in the previous case.
Donlan turned against Chula Vista Elementary School District after it had paid
many $100,000's of taxpayer dollars to defend her. The San Diego Union
Tribune wrote frequently about her attacks on the school district in 2004
when she was transferred to a new school. The district had to spend EVEN
MORE MONEY TO DEFEND ITSELF FROM Robin Donlan, after it had spent so
much TO DEFEND HER.
Here's what I'm wondering. If Robin really believed that she had HONESTLY
AND GENUINELY come into millions of dollars in wealth, why didn't she pay
back the taxpayers for all the money they spent on her? Robin's former
lawyer Daniel Shinoff is still living high off taxpayer dollars, but the students
of Chula Vista Elementary schools could sure use the money.

Lay-In Thread Serger
Price: $189.00
19 used & new from

This is the second 1034D
we've purchased for our
hobby/business, and we
love it. It's a great basic
machine...it doesn't do
some of the fancier
stitches (like coverlock),
but it also isn't as fussy as
those machines can be
(we also have a
top-of-the-line
computerized Elna945,
and it's a picky thing in
comparison). It's a
no-nonsense workhorse,
and does the basics well.
We generally use the
3-thread overlock and
rolled hem stitches, and
with it I can get a fine
enough seam/edge to
finish clothing for a 5" doll.
It's easy to thread, with
the thread paths marked
clearly on the machine.
We've had our older
1034D for over four years
of solid daily use and it
still works...just make sure
to do regular
maintenance, and this
machine will work reliably
for years.
