HBCSD Corruption

Proof of the lie:

Pat Escalante had no prior Superintendent experience nor did she have a doctor of Education degree which all previous HBCSD Superintendents have had.

NOTE: Pat Escalante had already been LET GO as principal after five years from Beverly Hills Unified School District when HBCSD hired her as principal at Valley School in 2011.  The next year (2012) school board members made her superintendent of HBCSD.  Pat Escalante does not have a Doctor of Education degree nor did she have any superintendent experience.
