Teacher's union leader blames governor for ALL of CUSD's financial woes, ignores Fleming-era trustees role in crisis
Feb 14, 2008
Vicki Soderberg, The Capistrano
Dispatch “We have no one to
blame but the governor of California. To ask
teachers and children to bear the burden of their
mismanagement up there in Sacramento is
immoral.”
That's great, Vicki. Fleming would be proud. We certainly wouldn't want to tell the whole story and risk ruffling the feathers of the Fleming-era trustees who were responsible for the majority of CUSD's financial crisis (years of deficit spending). Better to point fingers at a common foe and suck up to the lame ducks who just might hold the line on those non-classroom cuts a little longer before they get booted from office for years of neglect and mismanagement. Soderberg is president of the Capistrano Unified Education Association.

Soderberg critical of Trustees' budget decisions that repeat same mistakes
Nov 24, 2006
Vicki Soderberg, The Orange County
Register “If you budgeted
in salary increases for employees, you wouldn’t
have to cut anything ... You’re taking this new
money and putting it in other places, and you’re
telling me you have to cut? It seems like a
continued pattern.” Soderberg

Association, a teachers union.
