After reading your explanation, I did a little "googling" just to see if there were any examples of a DA with the guts to do the right thing. Wouldn't you know, there was a case in San Diego County-DA in Sweetwater charged 5 with corruption, bribery, etc. this included a superintendent. I think I will do a bit more reading. If other DA's in other counties have the balls to do what's right, then we should be posting those links. If we just stand by and do nothing, we are just as culpable! I don't know about you but, I think it's time to inform the masses!No Strings Attachednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-58698288987022476822014-12-02T21:31:20.685-06:002014-12-02T21:31:20.685-06:00The D.A. investigates and prosecutes white collar ...The D.A. investigates and prosecutes white collar crime. "Lobingier says Halstead asked him to not make the city look bad. For the sake of appearances, prosecutor and police chief conspired to keep a secret. Lobingier then omitted the whole truth from his news release.<br />As all of this left the reputations of nine police officers to continue twisting in the wind.<br />That’s shameful."<br />Sound familiar? Substitute Police Department for FWISD. Police Officers for Teachers. For once, I agree with the Star Telegram Editorial Board. Perhaps with a new D.A., someone will finally tire of the endless FWISD and Board scandals and investigate starting with the Bond issues, the lack of transparency, and the repeated violations of Law regarding meetings. fiduciary responsibility, handling of public funds, nepotism, hiring practices, threats to elected officials, retaliation, etc. etc.Readernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-21217200888906417532014-12-02T18:44:52.962-06:002014-12-02T18:44:52.962-06:00So confused?

That means it will be someone that puts their own personal gain, ie financial, above anyone else's interest. That makes Sorum the perfect candidate. Even if they hire from outside we'll still be stuck with someone that is just as greedy and self serving. Just look at the last 2 we had from outside, 1 was a thief and the other wanted to make sure all of her friends got jobs that paid really well including the ridiculous amount she made. Let's face it Ft. Worth, the city I love and grew up in has become so incestuous with backroom deals, payoffs and the acceptance of weak, corrupt public officials that it deserves what we get. Too bad the children and employees of the district have to suffer because of it.fed-upnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-11200199093044662902014-12-01T21:13:18.501-06:002014-12-01T21:13:18.501-06:00Sorum is known for hiding behind his desk and lett...Sorum is known for hiding behind his desk and letting others do his dirty work.

This administrator complained to Sorum about her being bullied by her boss. They demoted her cut her salary 14, 000.00 a year and promoted the bully making 6 figures. She had great evaluations and was succesful in her leadership of her department.

This does not include those which have been settled in recent months for minimum cash settlements of $20,000 +. I would like to know how much has been spent on legal fees for each case - from Chavez, Gonzalez, Duran Palazzolo, and the others since 2008. FWISD is simply ignoring Open Records Requests for the same. You have to wonder why? What are they hiding?

He promotes bullying and has Carolyne Creel and others as his henchmen. He has surrounded himself with acting assistant and associate superintendents so people have to go through his henchmen and he never has to do his job. Therefore,he is basically an untouchable getting a big salary to do nothing. <br />People write your senators make them aware of the FWISD corruption and abuse of power. employeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-23903440523814899112014-12-01T11:03:05.786-06:002014-12-01T11:03:05.786-06:00This article cracks me up.

And shocker, that didn't work out so well. The board has made a decision and Sorum is waiting in the wings. So sad for the children and teachers in FWISD.
