Our District’s $1M Gift to the Union 

For 7-years, former teachers’ union president, Bob Croft, was employed by the District but did not teach in the classroom.  Croft was paid a full teacher’s salary from school funds to the extent of nearly $1M.  To make financial matters worse, a substitute teacher was hired each year since 2010 to teach Croft’s physical education class.  Meanwhile, our students struggle for access to overwhelmed school teachers and counselors.[/mk_fancy_title][mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]Former teachers union president Bob Croft,  “whose salary is $125,797 – has not taught in the classroom…” and “…the district provides him with free office space to carry out his union duties … a substitute teacher has been hired each year since 2010 to teach Croft’s physical education classes.

According to San Dieguito’s current teachers contract … the San Dieguito Faculty Association shall reimburse the district one-sixth of the total compensation twice a year.

But Norton said there is no reimbursement.   Nor does the union reimburse the district for the cost of hiring a substitute teacher to teach Croft’s classes, which has cost the district over $124,000 since 2010.”[/mk_blockquote][mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]Stop the insanity and have the union head (Bob Croft) either work as a teacher or have his salary 100% (including benefits) reimbursed to the district by the union.’”

“ Taxpayers and students need an independent representative who will look out for their interests…
a parent of a district student…with fresh ideas.
Lea is an outspoken voice for students and their parents… one of the few that dares to speak out.
Lea has the courage, commitment, and integrity to be a student-centered trustee.”
