Sweetwater Union High School District was a good district. It provided students with transportation for athletic events, gave students free iPads and Lenovos to use for school work, and was always holding meetings where students and parents could participate and share their opinions. However, recently the district 'lost' 30 million dollars. This loss of money has caused the district to budget a lot, which in turn has affected students. Transportation was cut down, summer school will now be hosted in only 3 different school sites so students will have to commute farther distances. Our principal at school was given the golden handshake and retired early. Overall, the district needs to punish whoever was responsible for the 'loss' of the money and stop punishing students and teachers for their irresponsible actions.

Sweetwater Union High School District Salary Schedule
Sweetwater Union High School District is a good district to have your child or multiple in. Most of the schools are good schools that can help your child(s) go to college or another plan. Me personally, SUHSD has this program that gives students a plan to get accepted into San Diego State University called “Compact for Success.” It’s helpful to know that the district in assisting in getting its students to college providing them with excellent resources. I believe schools have EAOP and AVID, more programs that help students or those who don’t what to do beyond high school.
The Sweetwater Union High School District has preformed on an average scale. It is known to most of the schools within the district that the district is in debt which only degrades the student's experience at school, such as no buses being ordered for school sports, etc. The widely known debt is not an issue the students can fix but an issue the district should fix, the more fortunate side is that no school has been deeply affected by this. Another issue I would like to see changed is more discipline, and hopefully taking issues seriously. In my own school personally, teachers (AP teachers as well) have been put on leave for understandable reasons but it only degrades the education of the students.

Compact for Success[edit]
In 1999, former Sweetwater Union School District superintendent Ed Brand met with once San Diego State president Stephan Weber to try and overcome the small number of students enrolling and graduating from San Diego State University. In order to address this issue Brand and Weber engineered the idea of compact for success which would be a long term partnership between Sweetwater Union School District and SDSU. Before Compact for Success could be put into execution, SDSU staff and Sweetwater School Board teachers worked with one another to alter the curriculum in order to concur with the requirements for college admission in California. After the curriculum was adjusted, students within the Sweetwater Union School District would be guaranteed admission to San Diego State University if they could meet the five benchmarks set out by the partnership between Brand and Weber. In order to qualify for compact for success students must remain in the Sweetwater District from 7th grade and on. Along with this the requirements for admission are: maintaining a 3.0 gpa, fulfilling all A-G requirements, passing the English and Math proficiency test, and lastly, taking the either the SAT or ACT. Along with guaranteed admission through the program students from 7th grade and on will take multiple fieldtrips to San Diego State University and will have mentors along the way to help guide students by helping them prepare for a higher education at a university. Compact for Success went into the execution in the fall of 2000 and with that year incoming 7th graders enrolled in the district.From 2000 to 2012 compact for success has caused an 87% increase in Sweetwater students enrolling in San Diego State University, applications have boosted from 789 in 2000 to 1,770 in 2012.[3] As of 2012 compact of success has resulted in 1 of every 7 SDSU students being former Sweetwater School district students.Compact for Success was recognized in June 2012 by National Journal magazine as a “leading innovator” in higher education and has served as a template for other programs. This partnership has influenced other ones like it around San Diego County, such as the one between Vista Unified School District and California State University- San Marcos.[4]
'Pay for Play Scandal'[edit]
For four years, the ex-superintendent of the Sweetwater Union High School District, Jesus Gandara, along with four of his colleagues “regularly accepted what amounted to bribes in exchange for their votes on multimillion-dollar construction projects”, using bond money from proposition O.When the law caught up with Jesus Gandara, former SUHSD Superintendent, SUHSD trustees Arlie Ricassa and Pearl Quinones, former board member Greg Sandoval, and a construction company executive Henry Amigable, they all pleaded not guilty to the allegations made against them, including but not limited to: charges of perjury, filing a false document, and offering a bribe. The individuals involved in this scandal were said to have been spending thousands of dollars visiting San Diego-area restaurants, as well as accepting tickets to popular sports events and vacation getaways on a consistent basis from the year 2008 until 2011. Four board members involved were removed from the school board and reelections began, but this time based off geographic location instead of the votes counted altogether.[5]
