As a sort of public service and for everyone's reading convenience, I will post the "bottom-line" comment from a long time Voice commenter as a fresh new post. Readers can always scroll...and scroll.. and scroll through the earlier post from October 2022 here. OneManginiWay writes:
Three points rather than three sentences... (and a few additional words)
1. The defrauding of the public by the SMUHSD, its Trustees, and Superintendents.
2. The Misappropriation of public funds of (estimated) almost $1 million in tax-payers money for fraudulent investigation and legal expenses.
3. The destruction of the history and traditions of Burlingame High School by the (internal) Carpetbaggers who literally hate the town, its parents, (and their public standing) and the values of the community. (But love the money the parents give to put in their pocket).
The Burlingame Voice has been the literal (and intentional) roadside billboard to document these actions. Why? So the SM County Grand Jury can (once again) revisit the facts of what has transpired.
For me, the big question is what's next? So far, from the outside, it seems like this issue has stalled. If the County Grand Jury isn't recommending anything be done, or if it is and the powers-that-be choose not to pursue it, what's next? A Go Fund Me campaign for legal expenses? Would that even kick start anything? It's very hard to say.
Defrauding the Trustees-the start
The suppression of adverse employment files- It would have ended before it began.
The Trustees have been defrauded from the start- Documents filed in the San Mateo Superior Court.
The public records are a problem. They really ruin the lies that are told to investigators, friends, and spouses.
The Truth cannot be defamation-
high school journalism student
"If my identity... and the memo are disclosed...I will suffer great humiliation and embarrassment. "
-San Mateo County Superior Court
Its an employment disciplinary action outlining the adverse actions taken against a student... what did you expect?
A recent sworn statement reference is made to her action as DOE#1 in the San Mateo Superior Court (2015) regarding SMUHSD employment disciplinary actions withheld from the Trustees.
The sworn statement declared, that "someone again leaked information of my personnel file and a public record request for the a document that is not in my file" was made.
-That document, an adverse employment letter detailed what may have been a crime had been suppressed from the trustees and withheld from the police.
The REAL FACTS are that the SMUHSD identified and was ready to disclose (in under a legal mandate) DOE #1 Employment File.
The item, identified by the SMUHSD's law firm was the following:
The April 25, 2013 Adverse Action Letter of Reprimand by BHS Principal Chris Holleran.
The disciplinary letter had been withheld from the Burlingame Police and the SMUHSD Trustees during initial investigations.
The details of Principal Holleran's letter would have brought "sunshine" to these matters as wel as immediate justice.
DOE#1 filed a Reverse CPRA, a tactic to block the public from the legal review of disciplinary records of teachers.
Reverse CPRAs are being challenged in courts across the state as teacher abuse of students-are coming to the surface.
In this case, the district office suppressed the adverse action letter to avoid liability for its own negligent hiring practices of DOE#1. The accumulated record of action demonstrated willful negligence.... and now a multi-year cover up)
See current reporter being blocked by Reverse CPRA- of teacher records
https://www.vallejosun.com/author/holly/
Evidence shows the Doe#1 was not only well aware that the Employment Disciplinary Letter titled -The April 25, 2013 Adverse Action Letter of Reprimand by BHS Principal Chris Holleran was in her file, she also knew it had been suppressed from the Trustees (May 2013) by Deputy Superintendent Black.
If the Trustees were provided the letter, the SMUHSD would still have the $1 million in bogus investigation and legal fees!
How was the Principal Holleran Letter discovered?
A "blanket" California Public Record Act had been filed with the SMUHSD for "ANY disciplinary actions taken against teachers at Burlingame High School in a specific time period.
Melissa Murphy disciplinary letter got FLAGGED BY THE LAWYERS as meeting the standards of the legal request. According to the law, the public had a right to know what she had done to students.
It was the SMUHSD's law firm Lozano Smith who identified the Disciplinary Letter against the BHS English Teacher, outlining and detailing her actions of March 2013... and not one else.
As DOE#1, a REVERSE CPRA was filed to block the public disclosure as the body of lies to her peers, family, police, and the BHS community would have been disclosed.
Reference:
DOE 1 AND DOE 2 VS SAN MATEO UNION HIGH SCHOOL- SM Superior Court Online
The actual signature line on the Court Document - Reverse CPRA is the following:
Signed on December 24, 2013
Melissa Murphy
(Doe#1)
The actual name is signed above the signature line of Doe#1
The is a public record as it was filed by Melissa Murphy and her attorney.
(These are public records as they were placed there by the individual themselves)
"If my identity in this legal action is revealed to the public and the memo in question is disclosed to the public, I will suffer great humiliation and embarrassment.
Not only would release of the memo disclose private, embarrassing information about me, but I also am concerned that disclosure of memos of this nature will fuel gossip, be posted on social media, and lead to dissension among co-workers."-Doe#1
The Disciplinary Letter issued to Melissa Murphy (Doe#1) on April 25, 2013 by BHS Principal Holleran may be the reason for the following statement of blame.
“… at BHS in 2004, there was a strong administration that was striving to make it a better place on all fronts. But there was a change in power in 2008 that proved to be less than stellar. It didn’t matter though, because Burlingame has such strong teachers, the school could run itself. What didn’t run; however, was school spirit, school culture, and discipline.
Students were able to cut class and do what they wanted with few consequences.
If you stopped by principal Mr. Holleran’s office and politely said, “Can I interrupt you for a minute?” He would respond, “Well, you already did.” His type of “Don’t bother me” leadership caused even more problems for our staff as we tried to keep students and ourselves moving forward.”
Principal Holleran did not destroy Burlingame High School, nor should he be blamed for your actions
"The destruction of the history and traditions of Burlingame High School by the (internal) Carpetbaggers who literally hate the town, its parents, (and their public standing) and the values of the community. (But love the money the parents give to put in their pocket).

Bruce Dickinson came around to the fact that the lies at BHS and the SMUHSD run deep. He just did not know(1) how right he was and (2) how deep these lies go.
The SMUHSD Trustees are in possession of evidence of extensive retaliation and criminal actions in these ongoing matters.
The evidence includes reports made to the Trustees, the San Mateo and Burlingame Police, the San Mateo DA, and the San Mateo County Counsel (this is a limited list).
Superintendent Booker and the Trustees have been the recipients of statements for fraud written by the district office administrators regarding these events.
It is reported that there is an implied threat of retaliation to an administrator who may "break the code of silence" and may see their administrative career end. ( A total of 1/3rd of the entire SMUHSD site administrator stepped down Skelly)
When making fraudulent statements (and there are many!) the Trustees and Superintendent Booker have been provided extensive evidence to refute their public comments and even photographs of evidence they claim does not exist.
These documents illustrate the extensive violations of civil law and criminal actions taken by SMUHSD employees, yet the Trustees remain silent.
The reports to police have case#’s and the SMUHSD superintendents have either (1) refused to participate with the police or (2) are the source of the fraudulent report to the police (PC 148.5 False Report)
In one criminal action, where the evidence was exceptionally clear and the coordination of the superintendents with the crime was foolishly blatant, Superintendent Skelly stated, " I will not investigate unless mandated by legal counsel." This was the superintendent's statement to his required cooperation with the police.
Turning up the heat of retaliation- Threat Letters and False Allegations of crimes-
Imagine as a BHS parent, you are made aware that your child's BHS teacher has not only been spending her time cyberstalking the students, but is also the author of Threat Letters sent to the home of parents. (postmarked at the Burlingame Post Office)
Next imagine that this same BHS teacher, even more angry and disturbed, crafts another letter, this time posing as "as a teen" and makes written allegations of a sexual felony, sending this to another SMUHSD school site to have an adult investigated for a sexual felony, arrested, and publicly investigated. (This is factual- who would think to make this up?)
These letters of retaliation, when matched with evidence held by the Trustees shows that the actions were “coordinated with the superintendents and Trustee's actions regarding the BHS teacher. (100% real)
These letters of retaliation were intended to cause significant damage and criminal prosecution. The collateral damage to the actual student, the "teen" in the sexual assault letter (A real student's "character" (image, classes, siblings, etc) was used in crafting the letter to make it "look real" and credible. The letter was even sent addressed to the ONLY administrator still on the campus as the event was set a few years prior. The BHS author went to great lengths to obtain this realistic information to craft the letter.
Why care about what might happen to the child being "used" as the character?
It is reported that part of the cover up of this event was "bogus" calls to the families with children who "fit the description" in the letter, even though the SMUHSD District Office Administration KNEW exactly which teacher wrote the letter and why.
Superintendent Skelly, Deputy Superintendent Black, and the SMUHSD Trustees are well aware of these actions (and many other) but rather than take proper police action with full cooperation of the district, they have instead be hoodwinked to engage in covering up these criminal acts. (Defraud the Trustees)
Threat Letter and Sexual Assault Letter-
-Same postmark at the Burlingame Post Office
-same format and handwriting on the envelope
-Handwriting match to signed legal documents available online
So now imagine if it were YOUR child who was the selected student portrayed in fraudulent sexual felony letter? If publicly named (as happens in these events) in the ensuing gossip-mill, your innocent child would be destroyed and singled out by her peers as "the one" who engaged in a sexually related incident with an adult.
Now imagine that today, your child is sitting in that BHS teacher’s classroom.
You should know that there are other BHS teachers (present and former) who are not only well aware of these events, but have taken actions help cover them up so that THEY will not get caught.
The SMUHSD Trustees have done NOTHING to investigate or take action on these issues… because they have been “persuaded” otherwise.
By ignoring and feigning ignorance of these issues for years, the district is liable and the Trustees are individually culpable.
The Burlingame Police are well aware of the identity of this teacher, but the last action fell "outside" of the statute of limitations. The superintendents were well aware that if they made a report to the police, and cooperated with an investigation as required by law, not only would the teacher be convicted, but they would be fired for their failure to perform their required duty.
"An employee may not directly or indirectly use or attempt to use the official authority or influence of the employee for the purpose of intimidating, threatening, coercing, commanding, or attempting to intimidate, threaten, coerce, or command any person for the purpose of interfering with the right of that person to disclose to an official agent matters within the scope of this article.
"A person who intentionally engages in acts of reprisal, retaliation, threats, coercion, or similar acts against a public-school employee for having made a protected disclosure is subject to…
“a fine of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and imprisonment in the county jail for a period not to exceed one year.”
-These are just two of many events where the individuals are the defrauding the Trustees
Trustee Land- If the SMUHSD Board cannot properly handle these documented incidents, then how can the local parents be assured of the safety and security of the students at BHS or BIS?
That is a question that needs to be answered by both a Trustee and a Principal.

Posted by: Is YOUR student SAFE?- Criminal Acts- Defrauding the Trustees | May 11, 2024 at 11:02 AM
The links here on the BV will lead an reader, journalist, investigator, police officer, judge or Attorney General to the evidence, facts, and truth that the perpetrators did not want anyone to see.
Every statement has a document or statement to support its authenticity.
Let’s start here:
• California Penal Code 148.5-Filing false police report.
• California Penal Code 523 PC- Extortion by sending a letter that threatens.
Why did the SMUHSD Superintendent suppress and refuse to participate with police investigations of these two crimes?
These two actions have police case numbers, but when requested to act, the SMUHSD Superintendents remained silent.
-They were under investigation by the state and the disclosure of their involvement in these events would seal their fate.-
On November 26, 2021, when presented with the evidence of a Threat Letter (postmarked November 23, 2021, from the Burlingame Pose Office) which included bona-fide evidence of its author (the BHS teacher)
The first response of Superintendent Skelly was to make several comments to the effect of "Please...Don't call the police!"
Superintendent Skelly then abruptly stated, "I've been speaking with Ms. Murphy... she would not do this!"
(Why the statement? Skelly wasn't asked if Ms. Murphy sent the letter, but this was his immediate response)
When directly asked to open an SMUHSD investigation and cooperate with a police investigation, SMUHSD Superintendent Skelly next replied.
"I will not investigate unless mandated by legal counsel."
-Which legal counsel, your personal lawyer or the lawyer representing the people and SMUHSD?
Why No Action by the Superintendent?
Evidence disclosed later shows the SMUHSD district office had been in collusion with the author. (Same author- September 5, 2021) This was a coordinated retaliation tactic as evidence was scheduled to be presented in Sacramento was “career ending” to those engaged in these actions.
In fact, the letter was postmarked on November 23, 2021. A letter from Melissa Murphy's attorney -filled with fraudulent evidence that was ONLY held by Superintendent Skelly and Deputy Superintendent Black and included a letter ONLY sent to the Trustees was postmarked the next morning of November 24, 2021.
(The SMUHSD refuses to comment on its providing confidential information to be used for a fraudulent purpose)
A few days later, Superintendent Skelly's email to the Trustees took a direct statement from the letter of Ms. Murphy's lawyer, who Skelly claimed he did not know.
The SMUHSD Trustees sat back and did nothing. -- Why?
They were defrauded by the Superintendents. (it’s in the documents.). In fact, it would be disclosed that one specific Trustee had been providing (FORWARDING) private and confidential information to the Superintendents themselves! (The Good Ole Boys!).
When evidence of Trustee collaboration was disclosed, then led to further disclosure of the participation of a particular Trustee in these fraudulent actions and violations of the law!
The defrauding of the public by the SMUHSD, its Trustees, and Superintendents.
In August and September 2022, “new” Superintendent Booker issued a public record response, known to be an act to defraud the public.
The district office fiduciaries who were legally bound to provide the superintendent with the facts, evidence, and truth in an ethical manner, instead defrauded their leader providing known false statements and documents.
On September 16, 2021, the SMUHSD leadership made an intentional false report (an Informal Report) to the San Mateo Police, a violation of PC 148.5 making a false police report.
The superintendents had failed to make a required Mandatory Report on September 5, 2021, and then “held” the document for almost two weeks. After two weeks, an Informal Report (police “opened can closed the case in the same moment”) was made, leaving out all the “essential details that were known of the incident.” They thought the Informal Report ensure there would no investigation and the public would not have access to the evidence. (Murphy’s Law)
The superintendents believed that evidence “was buried” and they could openly lie to everyone. (Lawyer approved) This quickly proved Mr. Booker’s written statements to be false as his fiduciary’s believed Booker was too ignorant to figure out what had transpired.
The Public Record Act request for the evidence defined in Superintendent Booker’s fraudulent PRA response (above) “broke the ice” and the floodgates of fraud became apparent.
The lies of the fiduciaries to Booker started began a “connect the dots” of evidence that illustrated an ongoing patter of fraud, linking the Trustees to these incidents and others.
These local actions were THEN linked with evidence filed in Sacramento, and the depth of the lies and defrauding the Trustees and public expanded.
All documents provided to the California Attorney General’s Office and the California Commission on Teacher Credentials (CTC) was done so under the penalty of perjury.
Why the Trustees allowed and supported these actions of ethical violations is beyond belief.
The disclosure of the statements made under oath by SMUHSD leaders and a teacher, in addition to the documents submitted under the penalty of perjury are now in the “sunlight” and the dishonesty and perjury of these public employees is clear.
The Trustees have remained silent.
Trustee Land, as the representative of Burlingame and a public-school principal, it is your obligation to hold these individuals responsible via an the extensive investigation that is required.
Yes… the Trustees will be embarrassed by the disclosure of these actions, but that is all part of being an elected official who has been defrauded by public employees.
Superintendents, Deputy Superintendents, Principals, BHS Teachers, and SMUHSD Trustees who take action to produce, present, and defend false evidence to affect a specific and fraudulent outcome have engaged in perjury.
These individuals are aware of the documents submitted and statements recorded while under oath. The collaboration and collusion (using public time and funds) is documented and embarrassing.
Once a person has been informed that they are advancing lies as facts, they (Trustees) cannot go back and claim "I didn't know!"
The following all know the facts and the truth but continue to perpetuate the perjury.
• Trustee Land
• Trustee Griffin
• Trustee Andrade Zuniga
• Former Trustee Lees Dwyer
• Former Trustee Hanley
• Former Trustee Friedman
• Superintendent Kevin Skelly
• Deputy Superintendent Kirk Black
• Melissa Murphy and her "select group" of Burlingame High School Teachers (past and present)
Former Superintendent Kevin Skelly has removed his employment with the SMUHSD from his LinkedIn page, only declaring “Retirement” and Career Break
To those who lied, misled, deceived, and withheld facts, evidence, and the truth to abuse public power and public funds for self-fulfillment and personal advancement, the disclosures are clear and present. Some lawyers were lied to, other lawyers were participants and organizers.
The paper trail of lies continues to emerge and individuals are “turning” on one another as “they” realized they were used in the scheme.
During the CTC #1 and #2 investigation and appeal to the Attorney General, the SMUHSD Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent were represented by a Lozano Smith lawyer... paid for by the SMUHSD Trustees.
Therefore, it is the Trustees that have suborned perjury, yet have taken no action to remedy these actions against the public.
Posted by: Don't Call the Police! (please?)- Superintendents and Perjury | May 14, 2024 at 03:04 PM
Its time for a complete public disclosure of the actions and expenditures of the SMUHSD.
The SMUHSD Trustees have refused to process or respond to Public Record Act Requests.
The SMUHSD Trustees have "rented out" the power and authority of the Board to cover up the extreme negligence of its administration.
The SMUHSD Trustees have expended (approved and not approved) significant public funds to for legal investigations, limited scope investigations, and legal expenses for the known negligence and fraud of its employees.
The Board hired a "boutique" law firm Bertrand, Fox, Elliot, Osman & Wenzel to defend Skelly, Black, and the Mills Principal in a case that was internally known to be the product of willful negligence of the administration.
The SMUHSD Trustees have refused to report or comment on the collapse of the $125 million sale of Crestmoor to the DR Horton Company which fell apart on July 23,2021.
Despite the cancellation of the sale, the SMUHSD listed DR Horton as the Buyer on its August 5 and 12, public agendas in order to defraud the public.
On August 26, 2021, the agenda was then "changed" as the buyer was listed as SummerHill Homes.... for a sale price of$85 million.
Same 40-acre property... sold only weeks later at a $40 million discount. Not a word to the public.

Perjury and Fraud at BHS and the SMUHSD
An "Inside Job."
SMUHSD Superintendent Kevin Skelly
SMUHSD Deputy Superintendent Kirk Black
BHS Teacher Melissa Murphy
Perjury-
“involves purposely providing false information while under oath”
(full definition is below)
High School students would be expelled for less.-
The events below were retaliation for the reporting of the long and documented list of violations stimulating the CTC investigations of the SMUHSD Leaders. While these actions were concurrent to the CTC investigations, they have not yet been fully reported to the State Board for Investigation. The SMUHSD Trustees and current superintendent have the primary legal responsibility to file these reports, but refuse to do so as it wil reveal the extreme negligence and liability of the district.
These events are well documented and will be sent to the proper investigative agencies. The San Mateo Grand Jury should open an inquiry into the SMUHSD (The Skelly Years) regarding these ongoing acts of retaliation. This would include financial investigations and disclosures of the significant and known waste of public tax dollars to spent on spurious investigation and legal fees created as a means to cover up extreme negligence and violations of local, state, and federal laws.
At this point in time, remaining Trustees Land and Griffin are also responsible as they are fully informed of these actions and have chosen to enable and facilitate the cover up.
When a teacher is caught lying to her own lawyers so that the attorney will lodge known false evidence into the legal record, there are significant issues of ethics and honesty. When these actions are faciliated by the SMUHSD leadership, that is just plain crazy.... but its in writing and had the assistance of the Trustees.
When the lawyer representing the SMUHSD is shown to be the individual coordinating the fraud of the Trustees and the state investigation, it is an even greater embarrassment.
Allegations are based on evidence in the possession of the SMUHSD.
The statements of perjury do not include the SMUHSD's actions and inactions involving the Threat Letter (November 23, 2021) and (fake) Sexual Assault Letter (September 5, 2021) sent as retaliatory threats. These issues and documented in reports to the Burlingame and San Mateo Police, where Superintendent Kevin Skelly states,
"I've been in communication with Melissa Murphy and she would not do these things?"
"I will not investigate unless mandated to do so by legal counsel"
(There was no question regarding BHS Teacher Melissa Murphy's relationship to the letters, only Dr. Skelly's response)
These actions were reported to the Trustees, who then suppressed them and refused to investigate the perpetrators.- These actions placed students and families in harms way and had the potential to create significant collateral damage to the teens whose identities were used in these fraudulent threats.
The SMUHSD Trustees are holding an abundance of evidence and audio recordings of its employees’ committing perjury during a state investigation. This is in addition to the Trustees PERSONAL knowledge of these same employees lying to, misleading, deceiving, and withholding information and evidence from the Trustees during local investigations and Closed Session Board Meetings.
In addition, the evidence shows that the SMUHSD’s legal team, Lozano Smith facilitated and encouraged perjury as a defense of legal inquiry of the leaders of the district. These facts are all in the possession of the Trustees, who continue to remain silent.
Trustee Land and Trustee Griffin, as you are well informed, this is not an opinion but a fact.
The SMUHSD Board was hoodwinked by Skelly, Black, and Murphy to such an extent that the Trustees actually crafted the September 10, 2021 “Letter of Support for Ms. Melissa Murphy from Governing Board of the San Mateo Union High School District,” when solicited to do so. The document, based on an abundance of false statements (countering evidence HELD by the SMUHSD) and intended to deceive and mislead the state investigators by the Trustees themselves!
In fact, the foundational argument to create the letter was baseless. The Trustees were not solicited to construct the letter for Ms. Murphy, because the intent of the letter was to attack the complainant and defraud the CTC on behalf of Dr. Skelly and Dr. Black who were in serious trouble and under their second investigation!
The Trustees letter attacked the motivations of the complainant, Mr. Nelson, and the integrity of the CTC and its investigators. In August 2021, the Trustees also made public statements in the SM Daily Journal "outraged" at the CTC for investigating Skelly and Black, the "fine gentlemen" of the district.
The evidence held by the district, and eventually disclosed to the Trustees shows otherwise.
The SMUHSD Trustees were intentionally defrauded by the district office leaders and the BHS Teacher to craft and send the letter in order to defraud a state investigation.
The Trustees willingly violated the Brown Act to create the letter (under the cover of darkens), refusing to place the item on a public agenda and minutes in addition to strategically removing the people’s lawyer, the San Mateo County Counsel from the process.
In the letter, Trustee President Robert Griffin (a CPA) claims in his closing, “Here, it appears that Mr. Nelson is attempting to hijack the CTC process,” where Mr. Griffen and the Trustees have willingly engaged in fraud, slander, defamation, and perjury.
The September 10, 2021 “Letter of Support for Ms. Melissa Murphy from Governing Board of the San Mateo Union High School District,” was created by the Trustees while Skelly and Black were suppressing another crime from a proper police investigation.
Current Superintendent Booker was even lied to and defrauded to place lies in writing in legal responses to actions of the district. This is going to continue until the Trustees investigate and clean house.
The Trustees REFUSED to name the individuals (and the lawyer) who solicited this letter and to provide the information used in the letter’s construction.
Trustee Land and Trustee Griffin, it’s not a choice as an elected official to withhold evidence of a crime, its YOUR duty to not only report and disclose the crime, but to also investigate the HOW and WHY the SMUHSD Trustees were defrauded via an “Inside Job.”

A Public Record Act request was filed with the SMUHSD on November 11, 2023
The link to the SMUHSD's Special Session on the Brown Act is below.
If this is an intentional Brown Act Violation that requires an investigation of the SM District Attorney?
There is evidence to show... this may in fact be the case.
Trustee President Griffin
"The Board of Trustees has unanimously authorized and directed me to transmit this letter to you and the Commission to set forth the District’s unqualified support for Ms. Murphy in this matter and to request that the Commission close this matter with no further action."
-Where are the records of these actions?
SMUHSD Trustees Action
September 10, 2021
Letter of Support for Ms. Melissa Murphy from Governing Board of the San Mateo Union High School District.
This letter meets the standard of a Brown Act Violation as what may be a Chain Meeting, where the Trustees "linked" themselves via email to construct what Trustee President Griffin states as a "Unanimous" decision.
There is no record of the vote or members present when the vote was taken.
The fundamental questions are requested as part of a Public Record Act Request-
1. Did Melissa Murphy and/or her attorney Sarah Sandford Smith request this letter?
2. Who requested the SMUHSD Board of Trustees to write this letter?
3. Who provided the evidence for the Board and wrote the "legal language" and letter for the Board?
4. Was the letter (actually) CC's to the San Mateo County Counsel John Nibbelin?
5. Did SM County Counsel John Nibbelin acknowledge the receipt of the letter.? (Question of the SM County District Attorney's Office)
6. Public Agenda- There is no record of the The September 10, 2021 Letter of Support for Ms. Melissa Murphy on ANY public agenda.
7. Public Minutes- There is no record of the The September 10, 2021 Letter of Support for Ms. Melissa Murphy on ANY public minutes and the letter is not attached for public review.
SM County Counsel John Nibbelin is the Trustees legal advisor. Mr. Nibbelin is CC'd on this letter... who who gave legal advice to the Trustees?
8. There is a request for the identity of the lawyer/law firm who produced this letter for the Trustees. What was the legal relationship of the attorney to the Trustees?
9. The information in the letter is false, misleading, and deceptive with an intent to defraud the Trustees. The person who solicited the Trustees was successful in this venture. Please produce the information used to create the letter.
10. Citations in the letter were known ONLY to Superintendent Kevin Skelly and Deputy Superintendent Kirk Black and were not relevant to Melissa Murphy.

The 2016 Involuntary Transfer of Mr. Nelson was a planned act and retaliation perpetrated by defrauding the Trustees.
-These actions were carried out by a “brood of vipers” who have eventually turned upon one another.
Deputy Superintendent Black and BHS Principal Yim blamed BHS teacher Melissa Murphy for the incidents at BHS and Superintendent Skelly blamed Ms Murphy for Mr. Nelson's 2015 Involuntary Transfer from BHS.
Ms. Murphy then implicated at least two other BHS Teachers in the fraud who filed signed and sworn statements to the lies.
(with friends like these....)
“The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine”
The BHS lies that originate in the 2015 period have spiraled out of control as the SMUHSD Trustees have been lied to, misled, deceived, and had significant information withheld from the Board.
In addition, the Trustees themselves became so enraptured in these lies, that the Trustees themselves took action to cover up the lies and defrauded state investigators as well.
"Here, it appears that Mr. Nelson is attempting to hijack the CTC process to harass and retaliate against fellow teachers"
--Trustee President Griffin- defrauding the CTC investigators.
The is an incredibly embarrassing and humiliating situation for the SMUHSD Trustees, administrators, and the small conspiracy of BHS teachers.
In the August 2015 DFEH investigation of Dr. Black and Principal Yim, the SMUHSD and Lozano Smith Law Firm filed 120 pages of evidence exhibits. The evidence was selected by Dr. Black and Principal Yim themselves.
Of the 120 pages of evidence selected, 70 pages of exhibits specifically identify Burlingame High School teacher Melissa Murphy as the cause of the incidents and problems at BHS.
Superintendent Skelly would later identify Melissa Murphy as the “source” of the lies causing the Mr. Nelson Involuntary Transfer in March 2016.
Dr. Skelly personally identified comments made to him by BHS's Melissa Murphy during the February 22, 2016 Resignation Ceremony of Di Yim as the foundation of his statements.
(legal statement-Superintendent Kevin Skelly- February 2019-SM County Counsel)
Superintendent Kevin Skelly, stated that Burlingame High School Teacher Melissa Murphy in addition to one other BHS teacher, arranged “secret meetings” with the superintendent and “persuaded” him with known false information.
Superintendent Kevin Skelly stated there were no signed statements, no investigation of allegations, and no disclosure of these "meetings" to the Trustees or Mr. Nelson.
Skelly had been in the district for six months, did not know anyone, but took the work of two teachers in "secret meetings" to end Mr. Nelson's 26 year career at BHS.
Superintendent Skelly stated under oath, that he was "duped" by Dr. Black and Principal Yim regarding the facts of the investigations and Mr. Nelson's trasnfer.
Superintendent Kevin Skelly also personally identified Melissa Murphy as the person responsible for the fraudulent statments HE took to the SMUHSD School Board as facts.
It is documented in legal records that Dr. Black, Principal Yim, and Melissa Murphy were central figures in a prior January-April 2015 United States Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights (OCR) Investigation of discrimination and retaliation on the BHS campus, followed by a legal case. This case was settled in April 2015.
A few months later, in August 2015, Deputy Superintendent Kirk Black and Principal Di Yim were the investigated by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFHE) for employment retaliation directly after the OCR investigation and settlement.
The DFEH complaint was ONLY a few sentences long, and ONLY specified Black and Yim in the complaint. Simple and complete.
--Deputy Superintendent Black and Principal Yim blame BHS's Melissa Murphy.--
In the SMUHSD’s 17-page legal response to the DFEH written by Lozano Smith Law Firm, included 120-pages of exhibits provided by Deputy Superintendent Kirk Black and Principal Di Yim.
Of interest is the 70 pages of exhibits where Yim and Black BLAME Melissa Murphy for the civil rights incidents at BHS as the cause of the OCR investigation and the DFEH complaint.
Even though BHS’s Melissa Murphy’s name was NOT included in the DFEH complaint, BHS Principal Yim and SMUHSD Deputy Superintendent of Human Resources Kirk Black PERSONALLY selected these documents in order to PLACE THE BLAME for the incidents at Burlingame High School on English Teacher Melissa Murphy.
According to the ADDITIONAL evidence filed with legal and investigative agencies, the SMUHSD law firm Lozano Smith, district office administrators, and the BHS administration all identified Burlingame High School English Teacher Melissa Murphy as the individual with primary responsibility for the incidents at BHS.
According to legal statements, public records, and statements given under oath, the SMUHSD Trustees have been defrauded and over $1-million of tax-payer dollars have been spent on these and related acts of fraud.
During the investigation of these incidents, individuals knowingly lied to their attorneys and under oath, (making statements “in-conflict” with evidence file in prior cases) meeting the standards of perjury.
There has been a disclosure of a substantial amount evidence illustrating not only the "coordination of evidence" to defraud the Trustees, San Mateo County Counsel, and state investigators, but also a conspiracy to have whistleblowers charged with criminal actions.
This would include Threat Letters, False criminal allegations, fraudulent criminal investigations all tied to the individuals named here.
Sadly, there is far more to these issues that has yet to reach the public square. These individuals have stated concern of the “great humiliation and embarrassment “that will come from the disclosure of these facts to their peers, community, children, students, and spouses.
These people lied to cover up their own negligence and have continued lying to an extent that they can’t seem to remember the truth… or the lies they’ve told… on the legal record.
If it were not for the "lofty" positions of Superintendent Skelly and Deputy Superintendent Black who then leveraged the ignorance of the Trustees, the SM County Counsel, and the public, these incidents would have been closed in 2015.
During the investigations of these incidents, individuals knowingly lied to their attorneys and under oath, (making statements “in-conflict” with evidence file in prior cases) meeting the standards of perjury.
There is no where else to run.. the truth is upon you.
“ A lie runs until it is taken over by the Truth”
The brood of vipers has attacked one another, each blaming the others for the lies.

Police?- Who needs the police?
SMUHSD withholding evidence-Sept 2021
Where is the $40 million? August 2021
School leaders who participate and enable criminal acts and related violations of the law cannot remain in office or employment of the SMUHSD.
On September 5, 2021, a crime was reported by a school site principal to Superintendent Skelly and Deputy Superintendent Black. The crime required an immediate Mandatory Report according to law.
The Superintendents suppressed the evidence from the police, intentionally holding it until September 16, 2021.
The evidence was then provided to the San Mateo Police as an Informal Report, as the case was "opened and closed" at the same time.
The crime was known to be committed by an SMUHSD Teacher and the information of the crime would be required to be sent to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing which was investigating Skelly, Black, and Murphy at the time.
If the San Mateo Police, the SMUHSD Trustees, and the San Mateo County Counsel were provided with the actual evidence, the police would have made an arrest at that time.
This is one of many documented actions where the district office leaders lied to, misled, deceived, and withheld evidence from the police, the Trustees, and the Commission on Teacher Credentialing Investigators. This is not serving the public, it is a use and abuse of public power for personal protection.
The SMUHSD Trustees are now well aware of the crime and the cover-up by the district office. Its now time to hold the Trustees responsible for their negligence as they have validated and enabled this crime and a second one dated November 23, 2021.
The SMUHSD Trustees have had ample time to properly engage these matters, conduct an REAL Investigation, and hold responsible those who violated the law. These incidents, and their date-stamps are in the possession of the Trustees AND other investigative agencies... who are waiting and wondering WHY the SMUHSD Trustees have done.... nothing.
The active decision by the Trustees and the district office to do nothing (cover up) is going to need to be explained to agencies who hold educators and school boards responsible.
-Superintendent Booker, who was not a participant in these actions, was lied to about the incidents and its evidence. Booker then placed these lies in writing in a public document.
Superintendent Booker and the Trustees were then provided with the actual evidence (claimed to not exist) , disclosing the lie and fraud being advanced.
Response from the Superintendent and Trustees?-- Silence-
Remember, most of the iceberg is below the water. The damage that has been done in these past years is extensive, ugly, and exceptionally costly because the Trustees refuse to place public information in front of the public.
For example- What happened to the $125 million sale of the Crestmoor property to DR Horton? How did SummerHill Homes get the same property for only $85 million just weeks after the DR Horton deal was cancelled.
Why is there no documentation or public information on this $40 million real estate debacle?
The $40 million mishap and the failure to report to the San Mateo Police "overlap" and these events should be of great concern to the public.
Sadly, there are many more and those who report crimes are silenced.
Posted by: Withholding Evidence from Police- Skelly-Black- BHS Teacher | May 30, 2024 at 07:40 AM
People need to be arrested and held accountable.
The SMUHSD Administration has proven that is will "dump" an excessive amount of money to a law firm to "fight" lawsuits because the Trustees are completely ignorant of the issues.
-the public should not have to sue the district for it to hold accountable its "leaders" for honest and ethical behavior.
There are elected and appointed officials who have the legal responsibility to take action to correct the corruption, malpractice, and willful negligence that has infected the SMUHSD.
The Trustees and police are informed of documented violations of the California Penal Code by members of the SMUHSD's District Office and at least one teacher.
These crimes and evidence to support them are in the hands of the SMUHSD Trustees... who refuse to take action because "they" are concerned about their own embarrassment and humiliation as they have actually enabled and facilitated these actions to take place.
This is in addition to a providing significant financial support of public tax dollars for fraudulent investigations and legal defense to cover up these incidents.
"Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong,"... and has gone wrong. The cover has been blown off the evidence is flapping in the wind.
Those who have reviewed the evidence with "open eyes" are first disgusted and then dumbfounded that such extreme negligence would even be thought of much less carred out in a public school system.
The crime of Perjury- California Penal Code Section 118 PC is a felony offense that can carry prison sentences of up to four years and could include substantial court fines.
Perjury
"anyone who, having taken an oath they will testify before any competent tribunal, officer, or person, in which the oath may by law of the State of California be administered, willfully states as true any material matter they know to be false is guilty of perjury". The following elements of PC 118 apply in the SMUHSD.
-falsely identifying a suspect on purpose;
-knowingly failing to correctly identify a suspect;
-signing an affidavit - knowingly - in which there is false information;
-giving false information in a signed certificate or declaration;
The evidence and statements of these fraud(s) (there is a trail) are sitting at the feet independent and ethical investigators, empowered to enforce the law. It is expected that the elected Trustees will take action (because they are informed of these violations) rather than sit and wait for a higher body to take action.
The SMUHSD is holding evidence that requires them to open an investigation where a legal investigative body outside and independent of the district, the San Mateo County Counsel, and the Lozano Smith Law Firm reviews the evidence and actions that had defrauded the tax-payers of the SMUHSD.
California Penal Code 148.5-Filing a false police report
California Penal Code 523 PC- Extortion by sending a letter that threatens
California Education Code-Administrative Regulation 1312.3- Individuals who knowingly give false statements in an investigation shall be subject to discipline-
In addition, California Code, Education Code - EDC § 44114 provides local law enforcement to charge "educators" with a criminal action for acts of "reprisal, retaliation, threats, coercion, " etc.
"A person who intentionally engages in acts of reprisal, retaliation, threats, coercion, or similar acts against a public school employee for having made a protected disclosure is subject to a fine not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and imprisonment in the county jail for a period not to exceed one year."
This has been a "running joke" among the Trustees who should have taken action years ago, but instead trusted the "word" of the Superintendent and district office leaders.
People are going to be embarrassed and humiliated when their peers and community discover what they have done. The door to correct these actions is closing quickly with handcuffs on the other side.

SMUHSD Deputy Superintendent Black cannot be offered a new contract to continue at the SMUHSD.
SMUHSD Administrator Contracts must be presented and approved at a Board Meeting by their July 1, 2024 start date.
The Trustees need to know that they are on notice and that the long list of negligent actions will be coming forward. The public will look to the Trustees and ask, "How did you let this happen?"
In August 2021, the evidence shows that Superintendent Kevin Skelly and Deputy Superintendent Kirk Black embarked on a campaign to defraud the SMUHSD Trustees, ignoring their legal and fiduciary duties as leaders of a public school district.
The district office intentional withheld critical information showing extreme malpractice by these leaders.
Current Trustees Land and Griffen were recipients of the fraudulent actions and then became willing participants to advance the fraud.
On August 12, 2021 Superintendent Skelly was granted a two-year $329, 000 contract extension, where it is reported that Land, Griffin, Lees-Dwyer, and Hanley, "strong armed" Trustee Andrade Zuniga into a vote of unanimous support for Skelly.
Skelly "retired" six months later in disgrace. (Facts to follow over the coming months)
Once the contract was in place, the elements of the negligence and violations of the law began to come to light.
Trustee Land and Trustee Griffin, both veteran Board Members are FULLY aware of the problem, negligence, and violations of local, state, and federal law.

Perjury and Fraud
The SMUHSD Trustees cannot approve new contracts for district administrators until these legal issues are resolved and made public.
A vote to approve new employment contracts are a statement of involvement in the crime. If you have knowledge of the violation of the law and you vote to support the individual(s), then you are part of the crime itself.
The Trustees have an obligation to investigate and make public the facts of the incidents and violations of the law.
The ongoing support by the Trustees for these (there are more than one) act of fraud are the active participation and enabling of violations of the law itself by the Trustees- Land, Griffin, Andre-Zuniga are entangled.
A vote in support of Deputy Superintendent Black is a vote for the continued cover up of these issues. These documents were sent to the Attorney General as factual documents provided "under the penalty of perjury."
The September 10, 2021 Letter of Support for Melissa Murphy constructed and sent by the SMUHSD Board of Trustees--or alone by Trustee Griffin is a fraud.
The action is a Brown Act violation as there is no agenda or minutes of the item. The document lists a "unanimous vote" meaning a public action was taken without the public's consent.
Despite multiple public record act requests, the Trustees refuse to produce the name of the solicitors or the facts provided to the Trustees to create the letter. The letter was NOT written by an attorney representing the SMUHSD, because there are no facts in the letter.
The legal language was written to protect the legal interests of Superintendent Skelly, Deputy Superintendent Black, and Melissa Murphy.
Trustee President Griffin, a CPA whose signature in on the letter has committed perjury. The Trustees have suborned perjury as they provided "unanimous" approval of the fraudulent letter.
The solution is very simple and under the law. The Trustees need to produce the names of the solicitors, the information received, and the lawyer who wrote the letter itself.
The letter is on SMUHSD Letterhead, holds a "unanimous vote" from the Trustees and was sent from an SMUHSD representative.
This is the people's business and the people have a right to know if the SMUHSD district administration have a right to know.
In an ironic twist, the document was also used to defraud the lawyer of Ms. Murphy, now a Superior Court Judge in Alameda. The judge submitted the fraud as a factual document, "under penalty of perjury."
A direct question and a truthful response from one of the following would quickly solve this issue. The one who speaks first, most likely gets the deal!
Superintendent Kevin Skelly
Deputy Superintendent Kirk Black
Burlingame High School Teacher Melissa Murphy
Superintendent Booker and the current Trustees have been made aware of these issues, yet have not taken action.
Why post here--- because sunlight is the best disinfectant and people who are honest, ethical, and truthful should NEVER have to hide or fear retaliation.
This is a Whistleblower retaliation case. These individuals lied to, misled, deceived, and withheld information from the public and "used" the San Mateo County Counsel in the commission on the crime.
The post is based on 100% factual evidence held by the SMUHSD.

The San Mateo Grand Jury "acknowledges" that public entities have problems.
The SMUHSD ignored the last Grand Jury reports and refuse to acknowledge and correct its extreme internal failures.
-Grand jury calls for internal control assessments
Evaluations of financial reporting, operations to curb fraud, waste.
It is documented (and placed here on the Voice) that the SMUHSD Administrators have lied to, misled, deceived, and withheld critical information from the Trustees and the San Mateo County Counsel.
-The SM Grand Jury investigation topic is the result of a failure of Boards to take action. The SM Grand Jury, like the SMUHSD Trustees are holding evidence of significant malpractice at the local level. The report looks to be a directive to the Trustees to take action, or be acted upon.
The administrators (and their lawyer) then defrauded the Trustees and the County Counsel (who swallowed the lies "hook line and sinker") who then defrauded the state investigators.
This action and many others were direct acts or retaliation upon a complainant and Skelly and Black were in the sunlight and under a microscope which exposed their actions.
The Trustees responded to the discovery of these lies with a cover-up as they were "embarrassed and humiliated" due to being "leveraged" by these grifters.
"“Each of these examples likely reflects a failure of internal controls to prevent or detect fraud and waste,” the report read. “In other words, you ordinarily can’t have a problem with fraud and waste without a failure in internal controls.”
“If management does not communicate the results of its assessments of internal controls, others may see this as an opportunity to commit fraud or waste government assets,” the report said.

Posted by: SM Grand Jury Issues a Warning- SMUHSD- Put on notice | July 16, 2024 at 08:19 AM
The SMUHSD Board of Trustees- Land and Andrade Zuniga
-It's time to hold elected officials accountable-
Greg Land has filed his intent to run for his seat.
Andrade Zuniga has yet to file.
It's time for the media and the public to properly "vet" these individuals and get answers to the corruption that has transpired in these past years.
The Trustees are covering up the “loss” of $40 million from the Crestmoor real estate debacle, just one of the many acts of willful negligence of 2021. The damage continues
Single Member Districts link a Trustee to a defined voter base and its high school. The Trustee represents THESE taxpayers and is responsible to their requests.
Trustee Land has filed his paperwork to run for the SMUHSD Burlingame seat.
The SMUHSD Trustees have been lied to, misled, deceived, (we now add defrauded), and had critical information withheld from them by it administration, yet theBoard has taken NO action to investigate, correct, or hold liable those responsible.
The district continues to engage in a highly dysfunctional environment, wasting tax-dollars and continuing to engage in corrupt practices.
The $40 million real estate debacle of the sale of the Crestmoor properly was discovered by the SM Daily Journal in July 2021… and quickly covered up by the SMUHSD. The Trustees engaged in Brown Act violations by defrauding the pubic with false public agenda statements.
The former Crestmoor High School site was advertised and placed under contract with the DR Horton Development Company for $125 million in December 2020.
In late July 2021, upon inquiry by the San Bruno City Counsel, the DR Horton Development Company disclosed that the “contract with the SMUHSD had been cancelled,” yet there was no report to the public by the SMUHSD or its Trustees.
The SMUHSD Trustees continued to list the Crestmoor High School property as “under contract for sale with buyer DR Horton Development Company” over via two public agenda on August 5 and August 12, 2021. This was a fraudulent action.
On August 12, 2021, the SMUHSD Trustees granted Superintendent Kevin Skelly and two-year contract extension at $329,000 per year. It is believed that the Trustees knew nothing about the real estate debacle, or that Superintendent Skelly and Black were under investigation by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing’s Misconduct Commission at the time. The Trustees were “willfully ignorant” of these actions.
Trustee Andrade Zuniga “stood by her decision to approve the(Superintendent Skelly’s” contract AFTER listening to her colleagues with more time on the board and finding that any issues could be rectified, noting her belief in giving people an opportunity to grow.” (SM Daily Journal)
It is believed that Superintendent Skelly was given the option to retire and cancel his two-year contract extension only months later. In return, the SMUHSD Board did not investigate or inform the public of these violations of law and ethics, supported an attack upon the Whistleblowers, and engaged in a cover up of these actions.
On August 26, 2021, the SMUHSD announced the sale of the Crestmoor High School property to Summer Hill Homes for only $85 million. There was no mention of the cancellation of the prior contract or the $40 million “discount” on the sale of the property.
It is known that WHEN the Trustees became fully aware of these events, they engaged to continue the cover up. Trustee Griffin is a CPA and can read a real estate contract and a balance sheet. His own math would have shown a “loss” of $40 million in only three weeks.
The Trustees have engaged in violations of the Brown Act and refused to process California Public Record Act requests as they are aware they are in deep s%*t.
The SMUHSD Trustees were “leveraged” by the Skelly administration to defraud the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing’s (CTC) Misconduct Commission and the San Mateo County Counsel by creating and submitting false and misleading documents and statements as facts.
The Trustees also publicly attacked the CTC investigators while openly defended the extreme negligence and violations of the law by Superintendents Skelly and Black in the SM Daily Journal.
The legal role of the Trustees is to act as oversight of the administration, instead the ”Good Ole Boys” network protected and enabled gross violations of law and ethics and squandered millions of dollars.

August 9, 2024 is the end of the filing period.
The SMUHSD continues its journey of negligence and malfeasance as the Trustees cannot bring themselves to do what is required....
Open a Full and Complete Investigation of the extreme negligence that has infected the administration and Trustees
If the Trustees initiate and make progress on an investigation prior to the intervention of SM Grand Jury, the District Attorney, or California Department of Education- at least it will "look like" the Trustees made an effort to "clean up and curtail" the violations of the law and ethics.
Two recent (unannounced and abrupt) Special Board Meeting were required to educate, inform, and "correct" the Trustees in their legal duties.
On July 30, 2024- Special Session-How to process -Appeals to the Board from the public and employees.
The Trustees continue to need further education on their role with the superintendents lie to, mislead, deceive, defraud and withhold information from the Board.
On March 12, 2024- Special Session-The Brown Act- and Public Records Act
The Trustees continue to need further education on their legal responsibility to act in an honest, ethical, and transparent manner as they represent the public. The practices of the Board show that the Trustees have been using the power and money of the public to advance their "individual" agendas, careers, and benefits in addition to enabling and covering up the extreme malpractice of the administration.
The New Trustees are voting in opposition-
The newest Trustees Jacobson and Chavez have started to vote as a "bloc" in opposition to "Skelly and Black's" Griffin, Land, and Andrade-Zuniga who continue to perpetuate the toxic and dysfunctional environment that permeates the district.
In August 2021, Land, Griffin, Lees-Dwyer, and Hanley are on record in the SM Daily Journal, attacking the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing for investigating Superintendents Skelly and Black.
The foolish Trustees did not realized that they were being "robbed blind" as the $40 milliion loss on the Crestmoor property was being carried out and Skelly and Black had defrauded the Trustees to provide "cover."
The Trustees are actually holding the evidence, but are too embarrassed to disclose their actions to the public. (hence the Brown Act, CPRA, and Appeals Special Meetings)
Land and Andrade-Zuniga are running uncontested in their single member districts, but a new Trustee President should change the course of the Board and hold the members and superintendents responsible for the ongoing failures.
Superintendent Kevin Skelly and Deputy Superintendent Black lied to, misled, deceived and withheld information from the trustees over at least SEVEN Closed Session meetings where Superintendent Skelly was under evaluation.
Skelly and Black had a legal and ethical duty to properly inform the Board of ALL issues... even the ones that would lead to their termination.
In the end, it will be the Trustees who should be held responsible as they are FULLY aware and hold the evidence of wrongdoing, but would rather lie to the public and HOPE that they don't get caught.

How does LAND (as opposed to overbuilt office buildings) lose value like that? Gotta ask that age-old question: Cui bono?
Posted by: HMB | August 04, 2024 at 07:24 PM
HMB- Its called fraud... and its a pattern of the SMUHSD. The Crestmoor property "lost" $1 million per acre in the "sale."
The San Bruno residents are screaming about the loss of youth soccer fields at Crestmoor. The additional $40 million would pay for a few soccer fields and more...
Trustee Land represents Burlingame... where is the money Greg?
Fraud and the Public Records Act-
The SMUHSD Trustees, candidates Greg Land and Ligia Andre-Zuniga do not have the right to withhold evidence of fraud from the public.
Public Record Act requests were filed almost one year ago, yet the Trustees continue to withhold the public's evidence from a review by the public.
August 2021-
The SMUHSD Trustees have been defrauded by Superintendent Kevin Skelly, Deputy Superintendent of Human Resources Kirk Black and the Lozano Smith Law Firm in the handling of the Crestmoor High School sale.
This is a $40 million "loss" that has been intentionally withheld from the public. SMUHSD Public Agendas were manipulated (Brown Act Violations) in order to deceive the public while Dr. Skelly was granted a contract extension.
September 2021-
The SMUHSD Trustees and San Mateo County Counsel John Nibbelin were defrauded by Superintendent Kevin Skelly, Deputy Superintendent of Human Resources Kirk Black and the Lozano Smith Law Firm in the production of the September 10, 2021 "Letter of Support for Melissa Murphy," sent to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC).
The letter, another Brown Act violation, (it is not to be found in any public agenda or minutes and defines a vote of the Trustees) looks to be organized by Trustee President Robert Griffin who signed the document with enthusiasm of committing fraud.
President Griffen states that the letter is "authorized" by a unanimous vote of the Trustees... yet there are no truthful facts or evidence in the letter as it was created to defraud Ms. Murphy's lawyer and the CTC.
The letter was, cc'd to San Mateo County Counsel John Nibbelin, who allowed the fraudulent letter to be produced and sent to the state investigative agency without comment.
If the Trustees cannot be trusted to act with honesty, integrity, and ethics, then why do they remain on the Board?
Fact Check?
The production of the Public Record Request will validate any questions that may arise and the evidence will be added to the growing volume of documented fraud.
SMUHSD Trustees candidates Greg Land and Ligia Andre-Zuniga are in the election spotlight and MUST address these Board's actions (their actions) to withhold evidence from the public.

Department of Labor- Workplace Violence.
The SMUHSD is engaged in the active suppression of the recording and reporting of Workplace Violence.
A new law REQUIRING the investigation and reporting of WORKPLACE VIOLENCE is now implemented.
A WORKPLACE VIOLENCE LOG is required to be maintained for review by the public.
The SMUHSD Administration is actively suppressing the reporting of WORKPLACE VIOLENCE in order to limit its liability from the negligence of its administrative leaders.
The suppression will also BLOCK these events from being placed on the WORKPLACE VIOLENCE LOG, required for review by the public.
Trustee Land- As the elected representative of Burlingame, it is time to step up and end the intentional negligence and the cover-ups by the SMUHSD Leadership and the Lozano Smith Law Firm.
These events should be "on the record"
-Student threats of violence against a pregnant teacher.
-Student arrested with an automatic pistol and armor piercing bullets.
-Threat Letters sent to parents/employees by SMUHSD employees.
The pregnant teacher came to Superintendent Kevin Skelly and REPORTED the verbal and physical threats by students.
Superintendent Skelly told the pregnant teacher to "get another job."
When questioned "under oath" by state investigators, Skelly stated that the incident with the pregnant teacher, "did not happen that way..."
The "pregnant teacher" came to an SMUHSD Board Meeting and made the REPORT directly to the Board... who ignored her as well
See the Zoom recording-
Pregnant teacher physically threatened and called a "Fucking Bitch" by a student. Superintendent Skelly tells her to "get another job."The video is set to 9:30 and the first public speaker- Danielle Kellner
https://youtu.be/vak3UX8hbPQ?t=569
Ms Kellner left the SMUHSD and moved to the east coast.
Why would she bother to Zoom into a Board meeting to make such a bold statement if it wasn't true.
The Board of Trustees has a responsibility to be honest, ethical, and transparent with the public.

Reading the Measure GG comments (above) it begs the questions, What about the money that has already been lost... but CAN be recovered?
Elections are for vetting the issues.
No Elections = No Facts = No Ethics
Another by-product of the by-district elections is no challenges to the fraud... which the incumbents are able to suppress.
An election cycle would be the normal practice to sunshine these violations of public trust, but the by district elections systematically limit the pool of candidates to challenge the fraud.
The SMUHSD Board of Trustees have used the tax payers dollars and the power to defraud the California Attorney Generals Office and the Department of Education.
Trustees Land, Andrade-Zuniga, Griffin, Lees-Dwyer, and Hanley were "leveraged" by the district administration to lie to, mislead, deceive, defraud and withhold material information and evidence from investigations by these agencies regarding incidents in the SMUHSD.
The SMUHSD Trustee are NOW using their power to ensure that the public will not be made aware of this extreme embarrassment and significant misuse of tax-payer funds.
Since this is a Burlingame message board, the citizens of Burlingame can take care of their own.
Trustee Land, prior to being seated for another term in an unchallenged election needs to address the constituents on the following:
1. The fraud and embarrassments regarding Burlingame High School- 2015 to the present.
2. The botched sale of the Crestmoor Property- The behind closed doors "Fire Sale" price reduction from $125 million down to $85 million WITHOUT any public disclosure.
3. The SMUHSD Board of Trustees defrauding of the California Attorney General's Office regarding the investigations of Superintendent Skelly and Deputy Superintendent Black.
(This is the short list)
The documents and evidence held by the SMUHSD Board of Trustees (public documents) belong to the people and MUST be produced via Public Record Act Requests.
The Lozano Smith Law Firm does not represent the legal interests of the people of the SMUHSD, but rather the legal interests of the individuals members of its administration.
The San Mateo County Counsel, the actual legal representatives of the people, should be required to open an investigation of the defrauding of the taxpayers and the SMUHSD Board of Trustees by the Skelly administration and the lawyers who advised them.
Trustees Land and Andrade Zuniga should NOT be seated in their "new" terms until this investigation is completed and the public has an opportunity to review the evidence.
If nothing else, the people of Burlingame and their tax dollars deserve the truth.

Did the SMUHSD Trustees "bury" a separation agreement with Superintendent Kevin Skelly?
When Skelly announced his "retirement" he under a contract that ended in July 2022 and a contract extension that would end in July 2024.
These were binding contracts that were placed on the public agenda and approved by the Trustees.
An observation of his actions shows that Superintendent Skelly NEVER actually retired. (Separation from Service)
He is on his third Interim Superintendent position and worked as a substitute teacher in the SMUHSD.
Skelly "claims" to have retired in July 2022 BUT his teaching credential was "under investigation" by the CA Attorney General until October 2022.
The fraud of Kevin Skelly would require a public investigation and a report by the Trustees.
The SMUHSD and Skelly held a BINDING contract that would require a separation agreement for Skelly to be released from his two year extension.
A copy of that Separation Agreement is part of the pubic record and needed to be reported and posted in the public minutes.
Trustee Land- This is your job... please inform the public.
1. The investigation is required.
2. The posting of public documents is required.
--Skelly is "replacing" the Master Engergy Healer Superintendent in Mountain View. The Whisman MV district posted the separation agreement... as required by law.
The the Master Energy Healer Superintendent got $98,000-- What did Skelly get?

Trustee Land - This is $40 million of money that belongs to YOUR Burlingame constituents. You have an obligation to not only respond, but to launch a complete investigation.
-Everything below is sourced from public documents and Zoom Meetings (included)
Why are the Trustees both participants and enablers in this fraud?
SummerHill Homes selling Crestmoor to Toll Brohters- SMUHSD Trustees "bribed" $50,000 for extension on the closing date.
Toll Brothers? When did a THIRD builder line up to "pocket" the public's money?
The SMUHSD SOLD the Crestmoor Property:
*Sold to DR Horton in December 2020 for $125 million
*Contract cancelled July 2021- NO public report
*Sold to SummerHill Homes on (8/26/21) for $85 million (Closes-2/25)
*SummerHill sells to Toll Brothers BEFORE the SMUHSD sale closes.(current)
*SummerHill pays SMUHSD a $50,000 (bonus-10/24/24) to extend close.
*SummerHill Homes sells to Toll Brothers
How does a $125 million sale of public property turn into a "Fire Sale" of only $85 million all behind closed doors amidst a scandal.
Where is the missing $40 million. Maybe a District Attorney investigator to review the contracts. San Bruno does not need another criminal rip off like the PG&E incident.
What did the Toll Brothers pay for the Crestmoor site as the SMUHSD sale to SummerHill has not yet been completed.
On October 24, 2024, SummerHill provided the SMUHSD an additional $50,000 for an additional five (5) days to close the deal.
SMUHSD Board Document-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GQewKV6VEPXEGmvx1SPz5BM8KosbPAUD/view
The SMUHSD REFUSES to produce the required complete public records of these transactions and Closed Session Board Meetings.
These incidents of July-August-September 2021 by the SMUHSD Superintendents and Trustees OVERLAP with THE fraudulent contract extension of Superintendent Kevin Skelly in addition to the Board sending fraudulent documents to a state investigative agency.
There has been some serious fraud in 2021 by the SMUHSD which REQUIRES a public investigation and a review by the District Attorney and the SM Grand Jury.
This is the loss of $40 million in real estate value that cannot be recaptured once it is completed.
This is $40 million in school funds.... and the public WILL be asked for more school money in the future.
The SMUHSD sold the Crestmoor Property to DR Horton for $125 million in December 2020. (FACT)
DR Horton then cancelled the contract in July 2021 (NOT August). The cancellation of the contract was NEVER reported to the public by the SMUHSD. The cancellation was disclosed during a- San Bruno City Council Meeting-(8/24/21) and reported in the reported once in the SM Daily Journal. (FACT)
(Zoom Link cued-32:22)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVmtKPHpxc4&t=1936s
Despite the cancelled contract, the SMUHSD CONTINUED to list DR Horton as the BUYER on its public agendas for August 5 and August 12, 2021, a violation of the Brown Act and defrauding the public.
-Conference with Real Property Negotiator - - Kevin Skelly, Superintendent, Yancy Hawkins, Associate Superintendent Chief Business Officer, Harold Freiman, Lozano Smith, Landis Graden, DCG Strategies, property - Crestmoor, 300 Piedmont Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, negotiating parties - San Mateo Union High School District and D.R.

--Superintendent Skelly-Suspended Credentials, A $329,000 Contract Extension, and A $40 million real estate debacle. SMUHSD Trustees- asleep or enablers?
On August 12, 2021- Superintendent Kevin Skelly was "awarded" a two-year $329,000 per year contract extension by President Griffin and the Trustees. Evidence show that Superintendent Skelly appeared in at least seven (7)Close Session "Superintendent Evaluations" from May to August 2021 and NEVER reported to the Trustees that superintendent's Dr. Skelly and Dr. Black were UNDER INVESTIGATION by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing AND their credentials were recommended for suspension. (FACT)
On August 26, 2021 The SMUHSD President Robert Griffin "announces" the EXCLUSIVE sale of the Crestmoor Property to SummerHill for only $85 million.
(Look at the SHAME on the faces of the Trustees- They KNOW what is going on!)
https://www.youtube.com/live/4eAUECntVZ4?t=849s
Trustee President Griffin is a CPA, he KNOWS the legal requirements of disclosure and can read a real estate contract. The SMUHSD Trustees provided NO disclosures of the cancelled contract the month prior nor the fraud on the public agenda. Trustee Griffin needs to be placed under a deposition and disclose the truth.
San Bruno Property - Losing millions in value-
A 40 acre tract of property (Crestmoor) on the Peninsula does not DROP in value from $125 to $85 million in market value in a matter of weeks, months or years. The $125 million is a FACT of "mutually appraised and contracted deal that was in place for almost a year" (SMUHSD and DR Horton)
Comparative Property Sales-
*2101 Sneath (Engvall)- a 21 acre site was sold for $79.5 million.
*300 Piedmont- Crestmoor- a 40 acre site is being sold for $85 million.
The Crestmoor land parcel, almost double the property size (19 acres) is being sold for ONLY an additional $5.5 million? (can a regular person get that deal?)
*What happened to the original $125 million sale price to DR Horton?
*This IS public land and the money belongs TO THE PEOPLE.
*In which pocket will we find those "additional" funds as the property is "re-sold" in a private deal?
How is it that the SMUHSD sale to SummerHill Homes has not yet been finalized, yet the property has already been re-sold to Toll Brothers? The SMUHSD was given an "additional $50,0000 to extended the close."
On September 16, 2021, SMUHSD Superintendent Skelly and Deputy Superintendent Black made a known false police report to the San Mateo Police Department against the public Whistleblower, as the details of the Crestmoor real estate debacle and additional state investigations into the fraud engaged by the SMUHSD were about to be made public.
These deals needs to be examined in the sunlight as there are FAR TOO MANY documents and facts that have been disclosed illustrating a pattern of fraud and deceit.
The public needs a FULL DISCLOSURE on the canceled DR Horton Deal in addition to the names and details of those involved in these "deals."
What could we possibly find? This is the public's land and the public's money.

Sexual Predators -"Catch and Release"
During the November 21, 2021 SMUHSD Board of Trustees Meeting, TWO (2) employee resignations were listed in the minutes.
One teacher and one administrator.
First of all... no-one resigns in November.
It is known among employees that there are strong reasons to believe each of these "resignations" are for inappropriate adult sexual contact with a student.
"Resign Now and you won't end up on the Five O'Clock News..."
The SMUHSD District Office would be required to file an immediate Mandatory Report to the police and a follow up written report. In addition, a Title IX complaint would also be required as well as a report to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing by the Head of Human Resources.
Sexual Grooming is identified a Mandatory Report incident.
It is believed that there was NO Mandatory Report and no Title IX complaint filed because these reports would draw attention to the negligence of the SMUHSD District Office who was made aware of these "ongoing issues" and did not take appropriate action.
The "catch and release" of sexual predators and grooms is sadly a common practice in the California Public Schools. The preditor may actually get a financial payout to resign and the incidents are not reported or recorded by law enforcement. Eventually, they end up at another school with a "clean record," only to stalk another student.
The Board of Trustees was made fully aware of the nature of these resignations, but declined to take action.
These are personnel issues.
The issue is not the employee who is resigning. The issue is that the SMUHSD is NOT following the law or required procedures of Mandatory Reporting and Title IX Investigations (which then record the action and can be sourced if there is a future infraction)
Here in Burlingame, we continue to think that these things ONLY happen in other schools.
These issue are happening right here in our town and the Board of Trustees is giving its support to the violation of the law.
Mandatory Reports are a good thing. The report to the police and additional REQUIRED written follow up, FULLY identifies the student and the alleged assailant.
The Mandatory Report also requires the REPORTER to disclose the details of what they observed and why they observed it.
If the report is TRUE, then the child is protected.
If the report is FALSE, then the alleged suspect will be cleared... and the POLICE can look into why the report was made.
When there is NO Mandatory Report, there is no protection for the Child or for the Suspect, but there is a WIDE MARGIN to protect the fraud and the negligence of the school administrators who allowed these incidents to occur in the first place.
Maybe we need a Megan's Law for school administrators t0 ENSURE they file a Mandatory Report instead of letting individuals who engage with innapropraite contact with student go free and simply "resign" their position.
"Resign Now and you won't end up on the Five O'Clock News..."
--- The Five O'Clock News would actually be reporting on the negligence of the SMUHSD administrators who FAILED to take proper actions when they FIRST learned of the Grooming of the student...

Legal Action Filed against SMUHSD in SM Superior Court.
Trustee Land-As the representative of Burlingame, please MANDATE the SMUHSD District Office to respond to ALL Public Record Act Requests as mandated by Law.
The district will be required to pay the legal fees of this attorney and you are wasting more of the public's money.
The SMUHSD is being sued to comply with the California Public Records Act (CPRA) which is no surprise to the members of the SMUHSD Community.
The SMUHSD refuses to respond to lawful CPRA requests for one simple reason, the administration is corrupt and the disclosure of the requested public documents would confirm these facts.
This should be a Class Action against the SMUHSD to require them to produce ALL of the CPRA's that have been submitted, and ignored.
The Trustees who are NOT negligent NEED to mandate the employees to comply with ALL CPRA's.
The Trustees who are negligent... need to resign.
Posted by: Sued for Failure to Comply-Public Records Act | January 23, 2025 at 03:30 PM
SMUHSD Trustees- Need to comply with the law
The California Public Record Act is a requirement and not a choice
SMUHSD Forced To Comply- Now fulfill the CPRA's on file as well
During the Closed Session of the February 3, 2025 SMUHSD Board of Trustees Meeting, the Board was informed that it was REQUIRED BY LAW to legally respond to the California Public Record Act request submitted by the Jewish Legal News as represented by the Javitch Law Office.
The SMUHSD Trustees "agreed" to comply with the law, and produce the CPRA filed by the Javitch Law Office in addition to paying the legal fees of the attorney. -
The SMUHSD Teachers then reported receiving communications from the District Office of the following statement, regarding the requirement to publish "curriculum" as it is public information. The communication included the following statement.
"As a public institution, our district is required by law to respond to public records requests"
What does "our district is required by law to respond to public records requests" mean if it does not mean ALL legal CPRA requests.
The SMUHSD continues to refuse to acknowledge or produce documents from a Board Action dated September 10, 2021-
"Letter of Support for Ms. Melissa Murphy from Governing Board of the San Mateo Union High School District"
The letter does not appear on any public agenda. There are no records or recordings of Trustee actions, and there are no published minutes or a public copy of the document.
The letter is stated to be authored by Trustee Board President Robert Griffin, who states that a "unanimous vote" took place to authorize the Trustee's actions.
The document holds little or no factual statements and is addressed to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing
The California Public Records Act, REQUIRES that the item be acted upon within ten (10) days.
The first recorded date of the CPRA for the "Letter in Support of Melissa Murphy" is October 10, 2023, so It appears that ten days have passed. The CPRA has been submitted over five (5) times and the Trustees continue to withhold information from the public.
It should be noted that the SMUHSD Board of Trustees are represented by the San Mateo County Counsels Office.
In the case of the September 10, 2021- "Letter of Support for Ms. Melissa Murphy from Governing Board of the San Mateo Union High School District," the district paid the legal fee's of a private legal representative who organized the defrauding of the Trustees. (The Board not only was made fool of, but they also paid the legal expenses of the district office leaders who planned and carry out the fraud)
In responding to the February 2025-CPRA of the Jewish Legal News, the Trustees responded ONLY because legal action was brought by the Javitch Law Office upon the district in San Mateo Superior Court.
The Trustees do not respond to the legal requests of the people.
The disclosure of the requested CPRA documents indicate that the SMUHSD Trustees "understand" the law, but DO THEY comprehend that they are ALWAYS required to comply with the law... immediately.
The people should not have to bring legal action upon their own elected representatives to make public, documents and expenses that belong to the people.
Trustee Land- You represent the people of Burlingame who DEMAND ethics, honesty and transparency.
I suspect that BIS MiddleSchoolers are NOT allowed to "pick and choose" which laws and rules they will abide by on a daily basis. The Trustees also do have the convenience of which laws they would like to enforce and which they would like to hide behind.

One Year Later - New Complaints Filed in Sacramento
Sheriff Christina Corpus's Office has a rival in the negligence of the SMUHSD.
The September 10, 2021 “Letter of Support for Ms. Melissa Murphy from Governing Board of the San Mateo Union High School District.
Its actually evidence and not a letter of support.
The public would never allow middle school or high school students to lie and defraud in such an outrageous manner, why are the adults in charge getting a Free Pass?
Because the perpetrators ARE the Trustees and district administrators who are carrying out the fraud.
The SMUHSD Superintendent Randall Booker has foolishly entangled himself his these matters, covering up violations of the civil, criminal, and education codes, while trying to be one of the "cool kids."
Covering up these illegal actions and threatening those who follow the law is just ANOTHER violation of the law.
The SMUHSD Board of Trustees, President Robert Griffin, Trustee Greg Land, and Trustee Ligia Andrade-Zuniga are culpable and have also engaged in
The SMUHSD, its administration and Trustees are "aiding and abetting" in the use of adverse actions to threaten individuals who are properly following the law and reporting incidents, placing the jobs of trustees and district office leaders in jeopardy.
This would include a known FASLE POLICE REPORT made as a threat, with a specific intent to cause harm and damage to the complainant.
Education Code 44939.5 "Any school employee who alleges that another school employee has engaged in egregious misconduct, knowing at the time of making the allegation that the allegation was false, shall be subject to certificate revocation."
According to California Law, “egregious misconduct” is defined exclusively as immoral conduct.
These acts and many more are (literally) documented as these fools used the "public process" to defraud the state investigators and the police.
As noted above, the SMUHSD Trustees document, September 10, 2021 “Letter of Support for Ms. Melissa Murphy from Governing Board of the San Mateo Union High School District,” cannot be found on ANY agenda, recording of Board actions, or minutes, BUT was sent to state investigators.
The Trustees letter, solicited for a nefarious purpose, was specifically written to defraud the State of California and Alameda Superior Court Judge Sarah Sandford Smith, a CTA lawyer who submitted the document, "under penalty of perjury" to the state investigators.
Trustee President Robert Griffin is the stated author of the fraudulent document. The letter states, "under penalty of perjury," that the statements of the documents and requested actions, holds "unanimous support" of the Trustees.
The Brown Act would dictate that "Unanimous Support" by a public board would require a scheduled and recorded VOTE.
There is no record of the document itself or of any Board actions regarding the document.
Trustee Land has been fully informed of these matters since September 2023... yet no action has been taken.
The SMUHSD is "actively" suppressing and rejecting Public Record Act requests for this document as they are aware that it is evidence and not just a "Letter of Support."
Education Code 44114- Holds a $10,000 fine and a Year in prison for the retaliatory actions described above. (this is real- Its called the law)

Now I get it. The Brown Act verses the letter that didn't get discussed in public. The judge should see this pretty easily.
