Harris lie: Bales was forced into retirement

This crazy break from reality was also in Rusty Harris' editorial found here:

According to the North County Times article Joyce Bales retired at age 65 after forty years in education. http://www.nctimes.com/news/local/vista/article_f8ff610c-75c6-50c8-9d61-b4bc86554f2e.html

She is going to Tennessee to retire, not to look for another job as a superintendent. She made no mention in the article about wishing she could stay on longer. She was allowed to become FULLY vested in the California state teachers retirement system when she was re-hired in 2008. She will have retirement income from at least two states. The California amount should be more than six figures a year. Why would she want to stay any longer?

Where does Rusty Harris come up with the fantasy that she wished to stay?

Does he realize that she is doing virtually no work now?

At the cabinet meetings at the district office, she hardly ever even utters a word. All the work is done and presented by associate and assistant superintendents. At least that is the skinny I have heard from one person who attends those meetings.

Joyce is no longer has the ump or enthusiasm for the job. She has been treading water since the 2008 election. Some have hinted at cognitive decline. Who knows?

What we do know is she has NEVER indicated she wanted to stay here any longer. She is the one who set her retirement date not the school board.

Where does Rusty Harris get off writing, "the board's ruling trio made clear to Bales her contract would not be extended, thus forcing her retirement." There is zero evidence of that except perhaps in the fantastical stories Jim Gibson makes up to entertain his gullible supporters.
