Auggie Romero’s shenanigans escalate at Pueblo with politicking and petition
The “Auggie Romero shenanigans” never quits. He is now using Pueblo Magnet High School to play out his trickeries, which includes shrinking numbers which would otherwise make us look bad (discipline violations, including attendance and tardiness) and inflating grades to make us look good (dumbing down the curriculum by inflating the weight of a simple assignment in configuring the overall grade).
Will TUSD leadership doing anything about the problems at Pueblo, or continue to ignore them during this election season?
It is all cheating.
A massive investigation should be conducted in these areas. He has recruited a few of his most favorite staff to circulate a letter throughout the school to support him during the most recent scandal involving the grade-changing incident. It puts most of us in a horrible and stressful position because if we do not sign it we know we will pay for it sooner or later.
We are asking the Board and Superintendent to put a stop to his exploitation of staff and to his politicking.
The circulation of the letter must be squelched immediately before it causes even more harm and division on this campus. The letter has been drafted and circulated during the work day, yet the letter has nothing to do with what is supposed to happening on the Pueblo campus. The school nurse has been instrumental in spear heading much of the activity, which is a sickening thought.
Auggie began all of this by posting his dispute with the KGUN9 news coverage on our Pueblo Facebook page. It is not his FB page; it belongs to Pueblo and it was wrong for him to use it to “CYA.” He became enraged when a few of us spoke out through an email I sent to the staff and he immediately began acting as the victim and asking certain staff members to support him. It is disgusting!
The solicitation to sign a letter in support of Auggie follows. It was emailed on August 26, 2016. We are being asked to sign the letter. It has been was placed at specific locations within the school. This type of solicitation should not be taking place, especially during school hours. I feel forced to sign the letter for fear of the retaliation. Many feel as I do l.

Subject: Letter of support for Dr. Romero
Folks,

This letter will be placed in _____ classroom, _______

There is no pressure to sign this letter, it is purely voluntary and nobody is going to compare signed letters from each classroom/office to determine who signed and who didn’t. The purpose of this letter is a positive demonstration in support of his leadership at PMHS.
We will keep this letter in the various venues for people to sign (or not) and collect them at the end of Friday, September 2.
Thank you to everybody who worked so hard to put this letter together.
Three Sonorans note: In 2012, on the 20th anniversary of Cesar Chavez’s passing, the annual Cesar Chavez march, which always began at Pueblo HS, was cancelled because there may have been petitions present… but as we are learning, the rules (and state laws) don’t apply to the Peter Principle Promoted Pueblo Principal.
