I do not lava misuse of power for personal gain.

I'm a very proud third generation Central High School alumnus.  I love the school district pretty passionately and I'm always the first to chime in and defend her honor when someone might be slamming CUSD.  I may or may not have been predisposed to fall in love with the Giants when I realized baseball didn't suck because I liked my alma mater's colors so much. 

But there's some real horseshit happening right now in the district.  Looks like Superintendent Mike Berg is getting significant raise for himself as well as four assistant superintendents, which takes money from the general fund- where classroom supplies come from.  The schools are already having to cut way back on supplies as it is.

You know me, I don't get too political very often, and it never comes out on my blog- anything where numbers and money are a huge part of the issue at hand make me very uncomfortable- however, I couldn't let this just sit.  I lava my school district too much.

Please follow this link to read up on it for yourself (read the comments too, they're very telling about how disgusting the whole situation is) and sign the petition to revoke the Superintendent raises. 

And don't worry, I promise I'll be back to my usual blogoptimism in no time!
