Friday Morning

In the other 49 states, creating a hostile work environment is grounds for litigation. While it appears that Ms. Diaz has done nothing illegal, it does seem as if she has treated employees with hostility. This can result in our school system paying out huge sums of money to affected employees. All of this and the tyrannical management style of Ms. Diaz. Can we afford her leadership? I believe it is high time to bring in the Public Education Department as we seem to be too naive to select a leader who leads and to weak to cut them loose when they don't. Perhaps they will help us select a leader based on their ability not their heritage.

Lonnie (Leonel Briseno), I hope you are reading this.....I have known you for many years. As a teenager I looked up to you. For many of us in the youth group at Immaculate Heart of Mary Cathedral, you made a great impact on our lives and reach us in ways others were unable to. You taught us how to love one another and be fair and good. Through your guidance many of us got through some really tough times. You were a person to be admire....WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS MAN? I am an employee of LCPS and have watched your interactions on the school board and have often wondered, "Where did this role model go?" I am so disappointed and wonder how you can support a woman who is supposed to be our school district leader and has no moral values and claims to be doing "God's work", but is only here on her own selfish agenda??? Come on, Lonnie....wake up!

I am appalled to read about all the expenditures by the administrators downtown. It is a shame that we do not have the text books to teach our students. When the district is looking at the Standard Based Assessment scores will there be an asterisk saying *did not meet AYP due to lack of funding for text books? This is very frustrating.

The board members need to know that if they decide to keep Dr. Diaz, knowing that she mistreats and harasses personnel, they may be held personally liable in any future lawsuits that result in an award for the personnel.

Dr. Diaz is a narcissist and a sociopath. The narcissist personality disorder accounts for her delusions of grandeur and the sociopathy accounts for her complete lack of ethics and morality. In her case, she has two serious mental disorders. Solidifying the case against her is the fact that she has failed in her last four leadership positions miserably and has already shown her destructiveness here.It is time to fire her and our idiotic school board for hiring her in the first place.Speaking of the school board, they have had four years to fix things since the last board was removed. They don't deserve anyone time. I think all of them should resign now. The only possible exception would be Chuck Davis as he did not vote to hire Dr. Diaz.

Thanks to Earl Nissen for finding out the financial facts regarding Sonia and the LCPS school board.I hope you copied your letter to the Sun-News, Bulletin, and TV news sources. It is disgusting that Sonia received $2000+ per diem for a two day retreat in Cloudcroft. Other school district employees are required to submit receipts for travel reimbursement. Do you know if she is required to do so? If the reimbursement is inflated beyond her receipts, would the board be liable for fiscal malfeasance? If so, we need to seek a recall immediately!!!

In regards to employees sharing their complaints with the Board's attorney, the word is already out and about in the community that Diaz will even more afraid to come forward. The investigation by the board seems lukewarm and superficial at best, and they already have their minds made up regarding Diaz. Even our state reps are not responsive to the employees and their major concerns. They chastise us and tell us to give her more time without truly listening to what is really happening in our district. Again, people truly are afraid to come forward and I don't blame them. How sad the day was when the Board made this choice despite already knowing out her history in other districts. Blogger comment: Call the Board members and call your state legislators.

Word has it that Sonia has other job offers and is considering leaving the district. Will she leave with a pocket full of money? Blogger comment: It would take about $80,000 to pay her off. I propose a fund-raiser – maybe an enchilada dinner – to raise the money!
