MiraCosta is losing its most courageous board member

Miracosta Trustee Judy Stratton

See all MiraCosta posts

I'm afraid there's not much chance now of MiraCosta trustees having the courage to resist the control of the SDCOE-JPA and its executive director, Diane Crosier. Daniel Shinoff and/or equally ethically-deficient lawyers will continue to direct board members to take actions that are in the best interest of lawyers, not students, employees or taxpayers.

Strattan to step down from MiraCosta post

...MiraCosta College Trustee Judy Strattan is resigning her post effective March 31...In an unpublished interview in mid-December, Strattan told the North County Times that she needed to purchase a home outside the community college district for personal reasons.

A statement released to college staff this week said: "I know that I'll be leaving the district soon and some personal matters with family and friends have come up that need my attention..."

...A career educator, Strattan was president of Barstow Community College from 1993 to 1997 and served as dean of students at MiraCosta from 1978 to 1987. During her 2006 campaign for a seat on the board, Strattan took some incumbents to task for having a "rubber stamp mentality." She also openly questioned the leadership of then-college president Victoria Munoz Richart...

As Strattan departs, MiraCosta administrators are recommending that trustees fill her vacancy by appointment, rather than a special election...

I wonder if her leaving has anything to do with Shinoff?

Sounds very suspicious to me.
