Update 3/5/08: This post now has 2,003 comments! However, it has exceeded the capacities of our server and has been truncated recently at about 1,529 posts. But one of our readers has stepped up to the plate and painstakingly copied all of the comments into three NEW posts:
- SAUSD-Mijares corruption thread, 2008 Comments
- SAUSD-Mijares corruption thread, 2007 Comments
- SAUSD-Mijares corruption thread, 2006 Comments
We have also started a NEW open SAUSD thread, which I hope our readers will post to regarding new SAUSD news and views.

I must say, I am amazed at the stories that have been posted on this blog in the wake of Al Mijares’ exit from the Santa Ana Unified School District. I am posting this item merely to give SAUSD bloggers a place to post their comments. Post away my friends – we have an opportunity now to finally do away with the corruption left over from the Mijares regime. Change is at hand, but we must remain resolute.
I noted that someone affiliated with the SAUSD administration recently posted a threat on this site – alleging possible legal action against SAUSD employees who post anonymously on this site. That is despicable and a form of terrorism. Do not let fear restrain any of you from revealing the truth.
The final challenge we face in Santa Ana is to replace Mijares with someone competent. We won’t have another opportunity like this anytime soon. This process must be open and focused and whatever else happens we must keep Audrey Noji out of the Superintendent’s position. As a member of the Cerritos College faculty and a member of the teacher’s union at that campus I opposed her when she tried to get a job at our campus. If she goes after the SAUSD superintendent post I will do so again. I know we can do better!
All of my children are in the SAUSD system. For their sake and that of all schoolchildren in the district, I urge those who are rebelling against the last vestiges of Mijares’ broken empire to keep the information flowing and to do whatever it takes to ensure that our next superintendent will be up to the task. Mijares certainly was over his head throughout his doomed tenure.
As a post script: Valley’s new principal, Fred Gomeztrejo, was fired from three, not two, administrative positions; AP at Redondo Beach High School, Principal at Lawndale High School, and Principal at Hawthorne High School. Finally, the Board of Directors of High School Inc. knew of Gomeztrejo’s checkered career before he was hired and knew that Gomeztrejo lied on his application to SAUSD but they did nothing about it.
That’s the kind of school district Juan Lopez wants. He’s doing his job wrong, Jane.
To Pearson and Namie both, one of the most crucial aspects of creating a healthy workplace is what a company does when it finds a problem employee or manager, someone who makes the workplace toxic by bad behavior, bullying, rudeness and the like.
If you find a pattern of this kind of misconduct and the instigator is made aware that the behavior is inappropriate, “it is important to not give further responsibility for people to the instigator. What that’s doing is institutionalizing the inappropriate behavior,” Pearson says.
She underscores that people who should be fired should not be transferred instead, basically shifting the problem to someone else’s watch and “setting the course for expanding the negative impact of this person’s bad behavior.”
“My best recommendation to leaders is to have the courage to face this,” she says. “You have to sort out what really did cross the line, but putting on the blinders about it is the worst thing you can do.”
#1428 AKA Fred Gomeztrejo, that tactic is not going to work. We are all onto you. Tick, tock.
One typical tactic by inappropriate administrators is to start rumors that an employee is mentally ill. Saying things like they are crazy, just not right, off their rocker etc
Karen Bluel, the music teacher at Valley…….
Staff at Valley: tell Karen to get a restraining order against Gomeztrejo if he starts stalking her, as has been his habit.
This district is gunning for a huge lawsuit. Negligent hiring and retention practices. Just what do you think is going to happen when Fred loses it like he has at the last THREE jobs? Like he did over at Saddleback before he was moved? That teacher from Saddleback is pissed off and if she gets wind of him hurting anyone, she’ll be all over it. Juan Lopez has been warned repeatedly about his alarming conduct.
#1430 Go ask Valley employees what happened, your beserk breakdown was real!
psst…I agree keep focused on truth! Why did Karen Bluel have a restraining order against her.
WHO put the order against her?
Not all employees are created equal.
I notice how you keep focusing in on Karen and not a peep about 3 time outted principal, Fred Gomeztrejo. Do you have an opinion on him?
Valley staff should rally around Karen in case she is getting railroaded by any nutjob administrator.
All the Valley HS students have suffered. The teachers have to endure lots of mistreatment and negative vibrations from Karen Bluel. Hope all the trash cans are tightly secured! Karen Bluel may want to hurl them at teachers or students.
Juan Lopez should have placed Karen Bluel with Marianne Bola at Willard they are 2 seeds from the same apple. One threw everything she found around her and the other throws what-ever Karen left behind at everyone else. Yes, you should do the honorable thing and give Marianne the benefit, but you will soon agree with me and everyone else on this blog.
May god be with you all, since Juan Lopez wont
Has the School District Attorney investigating Rudy\’s money laundering going after the districts top cop?
How many times has the districts top cop taken his district issued car to the \”MECHANIC\” with a trunk load of surplus district bought \”parts\”?
How many times has he directed school employees to \”manage his personal business on district time?
How long will he continue to be allowed to leech of the district and cost your children $$$$$$, that could have gone to hire more teachers?

Chad Hammitt has been tagged to replace Christine Anderson.
The district has, and continues to communicate on their terms.
At least he wrote a personalized message. Not many of the district’s principals could be bothered to do that.
He’s either going to agree with Lopez’ tactics or there is going to be fireworks. That will be an indicator for the district changing directions or not.
Rob Richardson was back out in front of a Godinez audience of High School employees reassuring everyone that the changes in the district are deliberate and obvious. He says that they will leave no stone unturned in fixing the problems.
Is he finally getting it? Or is it just more of the same: empty promises?

Do you happen to know the names of the other 3 appointees?
Anyone attend tonight’s meeting?
I liked the questions from Mr. Hernandez to the brokers of cell towers and Donald Trigg. Trigg was quick to push the board for approval on leasing land at Mendez, Segerstrom and Macfadden.
The attorneys, brokers, and Donald Trigg, were pushing the Board, but thanks to Mr. Hernandez asking the tough questions, Donald Trigg would have gotten away with slipping another approval by the board.
Good Job Mr. Hernandez and Board from preventing Trigg and his cronies from exposing district kids to harmful radiation.
I reccomend, no, do not expose our kids to this type of radiation. Money is nott everything, unlike what Trigg said, Kids=$$$$$.
Donald Trigg is another which deserves to be release from SAUSD!
Thank you Mr. Hernandez. Please help this district excell instead of caving to all the predators who don’t care about our city.
Maybe Mr. Hernandez could look into the district’s attorneys and see what they have been up to. There are widespread reports of gross overbilling and footdragging to extract the maximum dollars out of the district for routine matters such as workman’s comp and special education hearings that could have been circumvented from the very start of problems.
Mr. Hernandez, stand up for your community! Make your family proud that you are an active part of the SAUSD turn around effort!
How the hell did Lewis Bratcher ever make it this far!
He just can\’t come up with a strait asnwer when questioned.
Lewis bratcher and clones need to go!
Santa Ana schools to lose more state funds, audit finds
Class-size reduction in district high schools was also improperly implemented, and the district will probably lose nearly $90,000.
By Seema Mehta, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
August 29, 2007
Class-size reduction was improperly implemented in Santa Ana high schools this past school year, according to an audit released Tuesday night. As a result, the audit found, the school district will lose nearly $90,000 in state funds.
The same flaws may have occurred the year before, costing the district as much as another $20,000, according to the audit by accounting firm Nigro, Nigro & White that was presented at Tuesday night’s school board meeting.
The loss will be on top of the $2 million in state funding the Santa Ana Unified School District is losing for similar problems in its elementary schools this past year.
Board members said the revelations of discrepancies and funding loss had been painful learning experiences.
“We’d like to be perfect,” board president Rob Richardson said, “but as long as humans are going to be involved, that’s not going to the case. . . . We need to hold each other accountable to get things done.”
Board member Audrey Yamagata-Noji proposed that in the future the district hire its own independent auditor rather than contracting with outside firms to review reimbursement programs for compliance with state and federal requirements.
The district is spending about $55,000 on a series of audits of various class-size reduction programs this year.
The elementary class-size problem was discovered after a series of Times articles revealed that teachers at several elementary schools were asked to sign falsified class rosters and that the district misused substitute teachers in an attempt to qualify for $16 million in state funds during the 2006-07 school year.
The loss stems from the district’s failure to keep first-, second- and third-grade classes limited to an average of 20.4 students per teacher. The auditing firm recently began an investigation of whether similar problems occurred in the 2005-06 school year.
On Tuesday, auditors revealed the results of their look at ninth-grade class-size reduction in the 2006-07 school year. The district is entitled to receive $192 per pupil in freshman math or English classes when there are only 22 students or fewer per classroom.
But at Valley and Santa Ana high schools, the audit found, 467 special-education students who were being mainstreamed into about two dozen regular classes were not included on class rosters.
These students were on separate rosters maintained by special education teachers, who were supposed to be assisting them in the classroom but sometimes did not.
Because these students brought the total classroom enrollments to more than 22 students, the classes were not eligible for class-size reduction funding, so the district is losing $89,856, or nearly 8% of the state funding it expected to receive, auditor Christy White said.
The district is entitled to claim $1.2 million for the classes that were properly sized.
Doreen Lohnes, assistant superintendent in charge of special education, said she did not know why some special education teachers failed to assist in the regular classrooms to which they were assigned.
“They should have been,” she said. “I can’t explain it because it should have happened.”
The district sought a waiver from the state that would have allowed a regular teacher and a special education teacher to teach in larger classes as long as the classroom averaged 22 students per teacher, but the state turned this down.
As a result, Lohnes and Supt. Jane Russo said that fewer special education students would be placed in the reduced-size classrooms in the future because of funding concerns.
Board member John Palacio said he was disheartened by this policy change.
“I’m disturbed to no end that special education students who are going to be part of the [mainstreaming] program will be warehoused in larger classrooms” when they would benefit from more personalized instruction, he said.
Auditors also found that similar discrepancies probably occurred during the 2005-06 school year, and recommended that the district review the classes for which it received state funding and resubmit documentation. The amount of money the district wrongly claimed is likely to be less than $20,000, according to the audit.
The audit states that the district must count mainstreamed special education students toward the 22 students-to-one-teacher cap. Additionally, it found that student databases were poorly kept, making it difficult to discern which classes were eligible for funding.
The audit also recommends closer review of attendance reports and keeping one roster per classroom.
Some of these record-keeping flaws echo what occurred in the elementary school class-size reduction program, costing the district $2 million. District officials have said those problems occurred when class sizes didn’t shrink as much as expected after the winter holiday. In hopes of salvaging some class-size reduction funds, they said, it was decided to add long-term substitute teachers to some classrooms to improve student-teacher ratios.
Auditors, however, found that this method didn’t work because of poor instructions and inadequate monitoring by district administrators, a failure to hire enough substitutes and a lack of classroom space.
In July, White urged the school board to provide adequate staffing, monitor class sizes frequently and ensure that class rosters are accurately recorded.

Your portrayl of Hernandez as the champion of the community seems misplaced since the city’s master plan calls for the installation of cell towers throughout the city. No resident will escape the alleged harmful effects.
What is unfortunate is Hernandez’s failure to vigorously advocate for special ed students. Could it be he’s only concerned about his family’s needs as they pertain to special ed?
Oh well, Hernandez is nothing but a smaller version of Sal Tinajero; talks big and doesn’t follow through.
Its alarming how accurate the blogging is. SAHS has a new Activities Director Brenda Loh. BTW a little parajito saidthat she already has her fingers in the pie and will mismanage these funds like she does her own. Another inept move by administration. Don’t they check first?
#1447 – It is this kind of erroneous posting that can discredit this blog. Although everyone is free to express their own opinion, you are making false accusations. Having worked with Ms. Loh for many years, I can vouch for her personal integrity, work ethic, perseverance, etc. She will do a commendable job at SAHS. Sometimes the right choice is made and this is one of those times.
#1448 writes – “It is this kind of erroneous posting that can discredit this blog.” 95% of this blog is erroneous.
#1449 write: “Although everyone is free to express their own opinion, you are making false accusations.” Don’t be so sure!
“has a new Activities Director Brenda Loh. BTW a little parajito saidthat she already has her fingers in the pie and will mismanage these funds like she does her own. Another inept move by administration. Don’t they check first?”
#1447
Those kinds of vague accusations and then outright speculation are hallmarks of a desperate liar.
Only idiot administrators would have the arrogance to attack good people. Brenda, Karen & Marianne will be judged by their peers and in a fair way. Long standing ethical teachers KNOW who is naughty and who is nice.
Note to the three teachers currently being dissed by that bully: IF you come under attack by a rotten administrator contact the union and contact Cathie Olasky. She is the Deputy Superintendent who can get things done. She’s booked until the end of September with teachers and other good employees coming forward to rid this district of corruption. The reason for the current attacks is that those puny, mean administrators are on the way out. Enough of the corruption and incompetence bundled up in abuse.
The reason for the baseless attacks on this blog right now is because there are some very bad people who are now being outted. Big Time.
Go ahead and keep accusing good teachers of your stupid suspicions. That’s a great way to alert the rest of the staff that you’re part of a crummy bully structure.

You think she’ll do a worse job than AD Katrina Calloway, under Esther Jones at Saddleback? Those two made off with monies earned by the disabled students. How low is that?
And when Jones was called on it, she ran out of the room refusing to talk about it. THEN she lets Calloway take the blame. Calloway ran over to Segerstrom and hid behind Lynn Maher, but the record is still in place. She was part of outright theft from the most helpless of all students. A real class act.
Those two, along with Evelyn Carrigg will have plenty to talk about to the authorities doing their investigations.
Rob Richardson said it: They are determined to leave no stone unturned. He is determined to do the RIGHT THINGS. They are encouraging people to come forward without the threat of retaliation.
It’s starting to look like a new day. The most courageous of us are already blabbing. The truth shall rise.

WTF are u posting about? You are nuts. Your argument makes no sense.
Tell freddy: tick tock, tick tock.
Make sure he answers his emails. He’s got a few important ones coming tomorrow and early next week
My turn to weigh in on Karen Bluel.
I have known Karen for more than 20 years. Is she a right wing nut? Damn straight! Do I agree with her politically? Hell no!
Is she a good teacher? No! She is a great teacher!
Karen puts more hours in, does more research to get it right, and out performs a dozen teachers at once!
Is Karen my friend? Yes and no? Do I trust her? No!
But none of that matters. Why? Because she is a consummate professional teacher. I would rather have 1 Karen Bluel in SAUSD then 10,000 Louis Bratchers, Doreen Lohnes, Pat Machados, and Juan Lopezis. That’s the bottom line!
Finally, whoever is ragging on Karen………….Stop! It is not about the teachers………..it is about the policy makers! Let’s concentrate on the leadership and not on the workers…………Do you hear me Gomeztrejo?……..Do you?……..we know you are watching this site…………you told us that on Wednesday……….in a pissy fit!………honey catches more flies than vinagar………but you, Mr. G, have not figured that out as of now……it took 5 1/2 years to get rid of Tony, …..if you continue to make the same stupid mistakes you may not last more than 2 years……….. You blew it at Hawthorne High by crapping on their teachers……….don’t go there again!…………..we are not high school football players………we are professional teachers………..play nice and succeed or goose step and fail……….your choice!
I have a theory on why the arts and music teachers seem to be getting hassled by crummy site managers. The director for arts and music at the DO is Todd Oishi. A very nice and helpful guy.
However, he was also a VP over at Saddleback under Esther Jones and he saw an awful lot of illegal things and abuse aimed at the special education students in Ms. Wilson
#1458
So Mr. Gomeztrejo reads this blog and has a fit over in in front of staff this past Wednesday?
Funny thing is that the attacks over one of HIS staff, Karen Bluel, started back on Saturday, the 26 at four in the afternoon. He had known of it for DAYS, yet he didn’t bother to stick up for her in a post? Shoot, he could have even signed his name to the post in defense of her.
Did he bother to brace her for that information coming out in front of the staff?
Did he bother to be concerned about her, first and foremost?
A little more details on the pissy fit would be nice. Was the entire staff present?
What kind of leader would lead staff to a blog without concern for the welfare of staff members mentioned? Did he stand up and defend Karen?
And did you notice how there were some posts about how the blog is inaccurate? Looks like someone doesn’t want any of the sad details of how they’ve gotten away with things to be leaked out.
Pissy fit?? Details!
This thing is turning out better than any Novella!
Run for cover, little baddies 😉
This blog is a bunch of people airing their dirty laundry. Its ok to critize, but it comes off as hurtful gossip. Good luck to Brenda Loh, and to the rest of you, it sounds like sour grapes. By reading through this blog, it seems like getting out of Willard is a good thing. Stop spreading rumors and do your jobs.
Hey Mr. G,
Look where tony is!
Is that in your 5 year plan, wait a minute, you were never a teacher in our district, what does this mean for You?
One thing, you won’t be so fortunate, you won’t have the option to become a High School Counselor.
The choice is yours!

Is that his little message in the morning? If so, that is EXACTLY the little schtick that his mentor, Esther Jones used to do.
Irony and hypocricy start the day when you hear those insincere messages over the speaker. Yawn.
#1458 –
High School Inc continues to mystify parents. True to form, district admins have neglected to inform Valley parents about this program.
Kindly elaborate how this new program is being implemented at Valley. I, like many, have concerns surrounding the unfortunate appointment of Gomeztrejo, and the possibility that all Valley students are earmarked to be placed in High School Inc.

“Rob Richardson said it: They are determined to leave no stone unturned. He is determined to do the RIGHT THINGS. They are encouraging people to come forward without the threat of retaliation.”
If you’re counting on Richardson to do the right thing, you’ll have a long wait. Richardson, better known in town as “Eddie Haskell,” is a man of little action. He’s Miguel Pulido’s placeholder as Hernandez “the Immigrant Millionaire” is Noji’s.
You first must understand the politics of Santa Ana to get a clear picture of the board of education.
There’s a mounting cry to unseat Richardson in ’08 because many are disappointed in his lack of leadership. He has not been the best custodian for public education.
To poster #1460
STOP!!!….It is the teachers that make the difference….not everyone up the chain command……….no matter how important the upper echelon thinks they are……….. it is the grunts in the field that either win the war or lose the war……….support the teachers 150% who work in the trenches or……….instead undermine their work………. as the failed Espinosa did so successfully……….and therefore run your school into PI 5 for year after year (a gutless response from a gutless Jack O’Connel)……….this is not rocket science………make your teachers part of the team and they will give you 150%…………crap on your teachers and they will give only 100 % in a 130% situation………..but then again the district is chock-a-block full of 55% people……….that is the other bottom line…….
Maybe the AC at Valley will cool some of you off a bit…all of this sounds like a good old fashioned catfight …”professionals”…HA!!!grow up!!!
Notes from the July 24 BOE meeting :
Mr. Hernandez:
The employee that was named in a sexual harassment suit will not the teacher in the Saddleback class for disabled students.
He was dismissed.
Keep it up.
When evaluating good management practices, it is helpful to look to current literature for guidance.
Authors and researchers, The Drs. Ruth and Gary Namie :
“Because the relationship between supervisor and employee is inherently unequal, an employee confronted by a supervisor with behavior that a reasonable person would find offensive such as yelling, name-calling, profane, sarcastic, belittling, or other inappropriate language is a victim of workplace intimidation and bullying because the employee cannot react as though the assault came from an equal. Such behaviors constitute threats to an employee even if no direct threatening language is used.
The threat is implied in the nature of the relationship, a supervisor can do things to the employee from writing a negative evaluation to termination, therefore the supervisor will be held to a higher standard of review in supervisor-employee confrontations. The offense is aggravated if it occurs in front of co-workers or third persons such as Postal customers. Angry shouting, abusive, profane or other inappropriate language demeans and humiliates an employee, and has no place on the workroom floor….
When such behavior is the supervisor’s everyday management style on the workroom floor, there is a presumption that a hostile work environment exists, and more stringent remedies may be taken to correct the situation.”

SAUSD pulled a clever new scam on their teachers this summer. In the past years teachers teaching summer school classes were paid on an hourly basis with paid time starting with the start of class in the morning (7:45)and ending when students leave (1:15), a grueling 5 1/2 hour session in a crowded classroom with one 30 min break at 10:45 to go to the bathroom and get something to drink.
But, not this summer. One of the district managers, by the simple expedient of renaming the 30 min “break” as “lunch” allowed the district to pay only 5 hours for the 5.5 hrs the teachers were on duty. By contract teachers are paid for time during a “break”, but not during “lunch”. Teachers were paid for 90 hrs this summer, in the past it would have been for 103, a loss of pay for each teacher from $600 – $1000 depending on their pay scale. But didn’t teachers agree to this by teaching summer school? Teacher salary and hours of work agreements are negotiated with SAEA. There was no such agreement. It was a simple scam.
Pat Machado is in charge of summer school, I believe.
Just one last time she gets to stick it to teachers before she “retires”?
That scam is so cynical. That’s just simple payroll tampering.
Can anyone confirm that Tracey Brennan (spelling?) – an outside selection for principal- has been chosen to take over at Saddleback?
Mike Moss is the new VP at Valley?

Yet another reason why “experienced” teachers don’t volunteer for summer school.
Here is the SAUSD “reward” for giving up your vacation time, teaching more students, taking roll every single hour, for more hours without a break…LESS SALARY!
