Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) Chief Facilities Officer David Azcarraga has submitted his resignation from the district effective March 12, 2013. According to a press release, “this is a personnel matter, the district will make no further comment on the resignation.”
However there has been considerable speculation and scandal regarding Measure TT funds. An informer advised PUSD officials some time ago that some of the contractors were not exactly ‘above board’ for Measure TT construction jobs. Other individuals directly involved will also lose their contracts according to PUSD officials.
Measure TT which was supposed to be a $350 million improvement bond program passed by Pasadena district voters in 2008, is the funding source for several local school projects, including the still desolate Sierra Madre Middle School.
Parents and concerned citizens in Sierra Madre have voiced complaints for years that there wassomething amiss with the contractor(s).
