Letter laments largesse (and we are not talking class size)

Gandara's salary obscene in tough times

The Sweetwater Union High School District has had to make significant cuts in the budget and recent moves by the state could force even more.

Yet the district wants to extend the contract of Superintendent Jesus Gandara for three years at a base salary of $251,000 plus $800 a month for expenses and another $750 for car expenses.

Gandara has conducted a top-down leadership style and dismissed or demoted highly respected and key personnel. It defies logic that he should receive such a salary in times like these.

He makes more than the LAUSD superintendent.
