“Dr. Jeffrey Felix has been named Superintendent of the Year by the Association of California School Administrators and the San Diego County School Boards Association. The award covers 42 school districts in San Diego County and an additional 16 districts in Imperial County.”
WHO gave Dr.Felix this “honor”? Why it was the CSA and SDCSBA. The same people across California whose job it is to TAKE as much of the taxpayers money as they can get to balance their schools’ budgets. And guess who won the award? Interesting, yes? CUSD has balanced the budget only ONE time (2010-2011) under Dr.Felix; EVERY other year we were in the RED. Is that a record that earns him this award?

The primary role of any superintendent is to develop and maintain a healthy school budget. If you are not good with money, then you will likely fail as a school superintendent. School finance is not an exact science. It is a complicated formula that changes from year to year especially in the realm of public education. The economy almost always dictates how much money is going to be available for the school district. Some years are better than others, but a superintendent must always figure out how and where to spend their money.
And the job of an Assistant Superintendent? Assistant Superintendents – LARGE districts have the luxury of hiring assistant superintendents who specialize in one or two specific areas such as transportation or curriculum. These assistant superintendents meet regularly with the superintendent and receive their direct instruction from them, but manage the daily operations of their area. Small districts typically do not have assistants, so all the responsibility would fall on the superintendent.
Why do WE have an Asst.Superintendent?
