Transparency needed on Gandara's spending

Regarding “Displeased employees want superintendent fired” (May 23):

In addition to the employees' dissatisfaction with Superintendent Jesus Gandara, I, as a taxpayer who lives in this cash-strapped district, believe he has taken some very wasteful actions. He often spends above his contractual expense account of $800 a month. He has charged an apple pie in Julian, a night at the La Jolla Hilton and a flight to Texas on his district account, and now says his calendar is private. Taxpayers have no way of knowing if these expenses are related to district business or not. Trustees should do their jobs and ask tough questions.
