Now that election season is underway, Dr. Sutherland got an opponent in Cecilia Speer a former FWISD administrator who is supported by Judy Needham and the old guard money.
We know she has started on the attack against Sutherland and we know Citizens for Great Schools and Needham are behind it. She then went to the forum hosted by the PTA Council and lied about her. She stated that Sutherland was censured unanimously by the board when it's a lie.
She touted her experience in the FWISD as someone that can bring about the change needed. In our opinion is to keep the bodies buried because at this point Sutherland has been the sole voice on the board to uncover and speak against the corruption that we have.
Hopefully others will comment on here and relate their stories about her.
The first story stems when Raul Duran grieved for the opportunity to interview for a supervisor position where Speer had not given a latino a chance. She said she had hired a latino which stunned everyone present. Read the article which will give you the facts presented at the time. The result of having true qualified representation of any race is not evident now with the people that have ruled forever. Truly there is but one latino at central admin and the ones they are trying to move up are not qualified. The only qualification is that they are related to someone in the district.

The other story that shows Speer's character is a lawsuit brought up by an employee that underwent so much stress, bullying and harassment that even with proof lost the case. Here is a summary of that event, we have the facts but to protect the source, we will not publish the document until permission is given.
The employee had filed a Worker's Comp report because she was injured by Loester Posey and Cecilia Speer who played a prank on her by using a large rubberband snake which was placed under a large envelope in the seat of the chair. During the Worker's Comp hearing, Posey and Speer admitted to the prank. The employee was startled which caused her to jump and her foot landed in a metal garbage can near her desk. She fell to the floor, twisted her body and reinjured her wrist from a surgery she had before. The incident resulted in injury and humiliation.
The employee filed the report which was never submitted to Worker's Comp and had to resubmit one two months later. The interesting part here is that Posey and Speer were the appeal officers as well. So you run the department and get to decide at the same time whether to approve an injury or not. The employee sent various letters to Speer to request to be heard with no response. She also sent a letter to Dansby at the time to complain about the retaliation with no response. Even in the deposition Speer and Posey admit to the prank and the resulting injuries.
But guess what? As in many cases in Tarrant County the district always gets its way. After all evidence presented and proved, the case went for the district. To add insult to injury, the employee had to pay court costs. The lawyer for the district was Barlow. No surprise, the same lawyers keeping the bodies hidden.
So you can see folks Speer comes with much baggage and she will continue to cover up for the district and against employees. Her whole reason for being in the race is because Needham wants Sutherland gone and other groups.
BAD NEWS if she gets elected!!!! Stand with Sutherland.
LISTEN BELOW TO AUDIO.. go to the END and hear SPEER and her lies then Sutherland calls her on it.
