Save Sierra College (From What!?) Update – how Sierra College turned 50 Acres into a $100,000 per year obligation.

Enter Roger Yohe – disgraced former WPUSD School District superintendent and his colleague / long time friend Kevin Ramirez.

Save Sierra College was formed to avenge the “retirement” of Kevin Ramirez – the former President of Sierra College.

As posted a couple of weeks ago – the WPUSD is embroiled in a financial mess because they followed Yohe’s vision into the Abyss. The Sierra College Board “retired” Ramirez before his megalomania could wreck the same havoc on Sierra College.

As Detailed Earlier – Yohe’s WPUSD Maladies and Kevin Ramirez’s vision of creating the same mess have startling parallels.

Apparently, those seeking to avenge Ramirez want to return to those days again.

In the 2003-2004 time period, a deal was struck between Kevin Ramirez, Roger Yohe and the City of Lincoln for a Lincoln Library.

Sierra College owned 72 acres in Lincoln – (Where Barbara Vineyard’s Taj Mahal Campus was to have been built if Measure E had passed) they sold 45 acres and ceded a few more acres to facilitate the development of a library. In sum, 50 acres were sold and the entire proceeds of the sale were poured into the construction of the library.

What did Sierra College get? A bill in perpetuity for $100,000 a year for the operation of the library.

Now the College has 20 useless acres, a satellite campus will need three times that. Ramirez must have envisioned a 24 story skyscraper like the Auburn “Tribe” is going to build on Industrial Blvd.

With current “Save Sierra College” boosters on his rubber-stamp board Ramirez got this plan adopted. Barbara Vineyard and Bill Martin associate Dave Creek sat on that board, now they are advocating that saving Sierra College is returning to the Ramirez era of fiscal mismanagement.

Bill Martin for that matter is advocating a ½ Billion Dollar Bond (I guess a 32-40 Story building in Lincoln?) and Barbara Vineyard is fond of saying that Scott Leslie and Aaron Klein are the reason why Sierra College will never get a bond passed again.

Roger Yohe – he led Western Placer into the Abyss, in 2005 he said, “Kevin Ramirez is the best superintendent I have ever worked with!”

Save Sierra College. Re-Elect Scott Leslie and Aaron Klein.
