Dangerous pipeline at SJHHS? District spokeswoman sets stage for more CUSD finger-pointing, cites report “approved” by CDE
Apr 18, 2008

Ignoring the fact that any “approval” by the CDE was based on information provided by CUSD (as lead agency) through its staff (like Dave Doomey) and its consultants (like Culbertson Adams), De Nicola sets the stage for the district to deny responsibility and point its finger at the state. De Nicola is spokeswoman for CUSD.
CUSD spokeswoman admits district was in financial crisis BEFORE state cutbacks
Jan 23, 2008
Beverly de Nicola, Los Angeles
Times "The district made $13
million in cuts this year, and $7.5 million of
next year's cuts were planned before the governor
announced billions of dollars in cuts to public
schools earlier this month."
Due to years of mismanagement and deficit spending by the Fleming regime, CUSD already faced a financial crisis before the recent state cutbacks were announced. This is the inconvenient truth the senior trustees and staff will attempt to cover up by pointing their dishonest fingers at the state. The Fleming trustees and staff are responsible for the draconian cuts already planned due to the pre-existing financial disaster they created. Now, due to years incompetence, they have assured that the impact of the state cutbacks will be even worse for CUSD than many other, more responsible districts. De Nicola is spokeswoman for CUSD.

CUSD spokesperson says CUSD is a 'full disclosure' agency, but district stonewalling tells a different story
Jul 23, 2007
Beverly DeNicola, email to The Full
Disclosure Network "When
we talked a few weeks ago you said that our
district was stonewalling. I pointed out that you
and I had never talked, and that I would be happy
to provide you with any any information any time,
just as I do with reporters and members of the
public. I have spoken to our Board President, and
Mrs. Benecke has asked me to provide you with
information on her behalf. Neither she nor I will
be available for an on-camera interview at this
time. I am looking forward to receiving the
questions that you said you would be sending to
me. I will respond completely and honestly to your
questions, except that, as I stated before, I am
unable to address questions that go to the recall,
which is a political process, or the legal process
involving our former employees. CUSD is a 'full
disclosure' agency. Give us a chance to prove that
to you."
DeNicola sent this to Full Disclosure in response to an email from Leslie Dutton, whose repeated attempts to interview the CUSD trustees and Superintendent Fleming for nearly two years had been rejected by the district. As CUSD's Director of Communications, DeNicola carries on the tradition of her predecessor, David Smollar, by spinning to cover the district's obvious stonewalling.

to fine-tune it and figure out how much this will
affect people. Because when you cut $13 million,
you cut people."
