FAUXLLABORATION ALERT!!!
District Deeds has shown that San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) “Elementary School” Supt. Cindy Marten cannot stop lying…and her newest lie is a $350 Million Fauxllaboration WHOPPER…the “Public Education Funding Town Hall and Reimagining California’s Future” tonight, November 4, 2015.
After over two disastrous and dishonest years in office where she has broken every promise and misled virtually every segment of the SDUSD Stakeholders , Marten has now invented from thin air a NEW way to pretend to promise everything to everyone without ANY commitment to actually do anything for anyone in a 10 year time frame.
Marten new scam is designed to enhance her reputation as an education funding advocate and try to get the VAST majority of San Diego County Taxpayers to promote giving her (an inept, poorly credentialed, dishonest. career hungry Elementary School Principal) a $350 million BLANK CHECK!
OBVIOUSLY District Deeds and almost everyone dedicated to improving the education of our children are in favor of more funding. However giving millions of more dollars to a the dishonest and deceitful SDUSD Superintendent and Board to enhance their own careers and reelections is NOT going to improve the education of our children.
District Deeds has exposed Marten Fauxllaboration multiple times in the past year.
For new readers to District Deeds, here is the definition of “Fauxlaboration”:
fauxllaboration
When a person/group invites collaboration, but then only forces their own ideas in subtle, and not-so-subtle, ways.
Marten is NOTORIOUS for asking for public collaboration AFTER decisions have already been made.
Marten is just doing MORE Fauxllaboration of the same kind in this Town Hall series.
For proof, here is a quote from Marten regarding the Town Hall Meeting on San Diego Channel 51:
The funding model we have come up with…we asked our teachers, we asked parents from our PTA, we asked our administrators, we asked our classified staff, we asked our community partners and we came up collectively with a number ($350 million) that would help us deliver on this promise.
– SDUSD Supt. Cindy Marten
So for the past YEAR Marten has been hatching this propaganda campaign with all of the SDUSD Stakeholders THAT SHE CONTROLS (including the San Diego County PTA who get massive amounts of membership revenue from school sites).
Now she wants the BLIND approval and support to our state representatives in Sacramento by the VAST MAJORITY of the MISSING Stakeholders who had NO INPUT on the model…NO INPUT from ALL the Board sanctioned Advisory Committees, Groups and individuals NOT employed or subsidized by Marten and the SDUSD:
- SSC
- Governance
- ELAC
- DAC
- DELAC
- CAC
- Parents
- Students
- Community Members
- Taxpayers
This typical Marten PROPAGANDA tactic…to exclude the actual users and individuals paying the bills from the IMPORTANT planning and then intentionally funneling them into predetermined “solutions”…is the DEFINITION of Marten Fauxllaboration and embodies the disgusting dishonesty of her tenure as SDUSD Superintendent.
To watch the Propaganda Campaign in action, either go to the Ballard Center at 6:30 pm tonight or watch on this webcast.

Don’t know where she is getting the idea that she “asked our teachers.” I’ am a teacher with SDUSD and I was not apart of any discussion on a funding model. I would also include SDEA on your list of stakeholders not included in the discussion.

This “community input” meeting began at 6:30 pm, in what appeared to be the central office auditorium. It was televised on channel 16 and online at Sandi.net…but today, I can’t find it anywhere…Hope they post it.
Marne Foster opened, with lots of phrases, read from notes, but little meaning…spoke for about ten minutes.
Cindy Marten came out, saying the district had been working for a year, on a template??, no template shown, then she launched into the phrases, “hope and promise”, “put practices that work” “bring them to scale”..”bright future ahead”, then talked about four “promising” programs…they want to “bring to scale”…
1. Early learning…2. Arts…3. Restorative Practices…and I forget the 4th…small class size maybe. Wait, don’t we already have all of those?
Then back to babble..”cross functional team”, “conversations to define what the gap is”, “come up with templates” “current levee” “what after investment”…
Then back to 1. Smaller class size of 17 possibly, 2. more arts, 3. 80 extra school days…and all of a sudden, it’s going to cost an extra …?..Was it 350 million needed from the state?…Cindy said they worked it out on their template.
Then came John Gray, master salesman…saying he’s from Sacramento, trying to suggest he was from our state government…but he works for a private company he heads.
Outstanding communicator, impressive charts and power point, speaking clear English, unlike Marten and Foster.
More about John Gray at: sscal.com…He is the president of “School Services of California”, a private group, founded in 1975, by Ken Hall, Deputy Director of Ronald Reagan’s Department of Finance…
Ironic that this company would be advocating for increased education spending, after all the cuts Reagan made, while governor of CA…
I went to the district site, Sandi.net this morning to see if they ever involved the “community” , my husband said there were only two questions allowed, but they have not, as of Thurs. afternoon posted it. More stonewalling the public as Marten plans this 350 million dollar fiasco…
Thanks for writing about this, Frank, the local media ignored it….except for Cindy Marten’s communication channel, KUSI, channel 9.
