To respond to Mr. Ford’s recollection of the embezzlement in ACSD14 and CLA, there are some important facts that Mr. Ford omitted. First of all, Katie Squair of CLA got caught because Tina Fresquez, who co-founded CLS with Ms. Squair turned her in, not because of any investigation that Angela ordered. (Tina is now the director of that school and her mother is President of the board ????) Darlene Pointer was the school district employee who stole close to $400,000 and did it over a period of 6 years, all while Dr. Lange was in charge and Angela Kreutzer was treasurer. Because CLA was a threat to the district, John Lange made sure that Katie’s picture was plastered all over the news and media, although her theft was much less than Ms. Pointer’s and over a much shorter period, $70,000 was the total for Ms. Squair. Ms. Pointer stole much more, over a much longer period, but the story of that theft got no publicity (because the district kept it hush hush) and her sentence was much more lenient – 10 years COMMUNITY corrections as opposed to Ms. Squair’s 3 years PRISON sentence, no comparison! Ms. Pointer is probably already out on probation.

I really wish you would have gotten that extra layer of help you claim you requested Mr. Ford, then maybe Dr. Lange wouldn’t have gotten away with the hand shake deal that cost this district 1.5 MILLION, an October count mistake that cost the district 1.2 MILLION, going over budget by over 2 MILLION, CSAP scores that are in the basement and have been, a new school that the voters were tricked into believing was going to be a community college for their use too but probably won’t be now….the list goes on and on. I do believe you were present for most if not all of these happenings. Thank God you are no longer on the board and we finally have 3 board members with some brain cells.

Give it up Mr. Ford, you only make a fool of yourself when you get up and speak. Take a break and find a hobby and stay home – PLEASE!
