Sweetwater Union High School District
<p></p>
<p>Is it curtains for high school sports? Are high school athletes playing their hearts out, but nobody’s scouting them for scholarships? Are club coaches, who are also school coaches, recruiting student-athletes? Will all student-athletes have a level playing field?</p>

<p>The Internal Revenue Service is investigating Sweetwater Union High School District’s L Street property –is this investigation only the tip of the iceberg?</p>
<p>In 2005 the district purchased a 24- acre parcel of land on L Street. The district made the purchase using Plan Nine Partners/California Trust for Public Schools, a non-profit or 501(c)(3) organization, to borrow $25 million in tax-exempt bonds to purchase the L Street property.</p>
Sweetwater Union High School District, Board Race
The Sweetwater Union board was at the epicenter of the recent scandals of bribery and quid-pro-quo relationships between contractors and board members. The ending result was that four of the five board members were forced off the board by a judge, as they pled guilty to lesser offenses. The fifth board member is not running for re-election which makes all five board seats up for election
Trustee Area 1:
There are three candidates for this seat: Burt Grossman, Arturo Solis, and Jerome Torres.
