Continuing the previous comments critiquing and correcting the lies of Dr. Stephen Guffanti in his fact free editorial in the North County Times, Dangers of Union Control found here:

Lie two, "gave it control of the Vista Unified School District" It referring to the good, long suffering folks of the Vista Teachers Association whose average member is a forty some year old college educated woman.
(1) If the teachers controlled the district, why would there be NO contract in the last two years?
(2) If the teachers controlled the district, why would there be no pay raise in the last two years?
If the teachers controlled the district would the average VUSD teacher salary have dropped from the third highest among unified school districts in the county to one of the VERY lowest in the county of San Diego?
FACT: VUSD salaries are now 22nd out of 29 districts in San Diego county. Only six districts in the county have lower average salaries than VUSD. Only three districts in the county had declining salaries. VUSD was one of those and it declined by over 2%. The other two declined by less than 1%

(3) If the teachers controlled the district then wouldn't one expect that they had veto power or at least input in selecting a superintendent?
FACT: VTA leadership was NOT allowed to even talk to Joyce Bales, the current VUSD superintendent, before she was hired let alone have any input or veto power over her selection.
(4) If the VTA controlled the district would Joyce Bales have been given a three year contract extension just before the election last November?
Why is there NO FACT CHECKING at the North County Times?
