But even we did not imagine Baird would be so oblivious as to fail to secure the iPads after three other area schools were burglarized for iPads and laptops in the past weeks. Alas, he was.
Patch:
Five iPads were stolen at Ocean Knoll Elementary School late Sunday, according to the Encinitas Union School District.Only 28 more years of property taxes left to pay off that iPad debt.
Initial reports stated that items were not stolen. However, authorities discovered the iPads missing after a thorough investigation, according to the District's Gerry Devitt.
Burglars broke through a fence and window, according to Sgt. Roberto Lopez.
Last month, burglars stole a dozen iPads from Cardiff Elementary School and another dozen from Ada Harris Elementary School. On Friday night, 24 Apple laptop computers were stolen from Skyline Elementary School in Solana Beach.
How many more repeat thefts have to occur for the school authorities to take action to protect these devices? How about safes or cameras and audible alarms - by the time the cops show up, he crooks have fled. Take it out of the smirking Baird's salary - these devices are a frill.
ReplyDeleteBaird should be fired. The bond he shepherd in did nothing for your kids education. It just gave him some play money. What an expensive tool. Fire that nightmare. Our kids deserve more than a out of date salesman.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Cardiff for awhile, and the schools there are superior, from my experience, with my children. Tim Baird is awful, and the only member of the Board of Trustees worth her salt is Mo Muir who ran and was elected on a platform of saving Pacific View from privatization, Baird's scheme of selling off irreplaceable, donated assets for short term profit, and another "star" on his resume.
DeleteNow Baird has had the EUSD attorney instruct Mo she must recuse herself due to a (non-existent) "conflict of interest" manufactured to stop ANY dissent, because's her husband is Councilmember Mark Muir.
Baird tried to sell out Ojai citizens, then came here, only in 2009, when he began trying to sell Encinitas out! He was in Ojai, through 2008, making $165,000 per year, so got a hefty raise, when coming here. He just got another raise, from the EUSD Board, whom he leads around by their noses, from an excessive $200,000 per year plus benefits, to $215,000 plus benefits, now, when teachers are being given their pink slips, he complains, while wasting school reconstruction money on IPads and sticking more and more school bond debt on us taxpayers!
Dump Baird !!
ReplyDeleteHave Baird stand guard all night with a baseball bat to protect his frivilous expenditures. After repeated thefts, the schools have not yet taken steps to protect these targeted items. After the 2nd school was heisted, it should have become apparent that it is probably a ring moving from one vulnerable target to the next. Baird and his gang are slow on the uptake apparently.
ReplyDeleteDump Baird!
Baird's picture radiates "What! Me Worry?"
ReplyDeleteHe looks just like the Cheshire Cat in that photo.
ReplyDelete"We're all mad here" said the cat.
