  2. Typical for DSUSD to not reply or investigate their own wrong doing.
    When they refuse to follow a judgment made in a civilized court room. Instead refuse to obey court decision or refuse to comply with court ruling while also refusing to make corrections to their internal records when that court decision was not entered properly into their personnel files since it did not agree with their own personal opinion so court judgment was null and void in their opinion since DSUSD has their own personal court system that does not obey rulings or refuse to comply with decisions made in a California State Court by a highly qualified Judge that oversees such matters.

    Thankfully when exposed to normal people that were not sadistic or not taking every opportunity to make life miserable with their abusive behavior, then was not exposed to this type of treatment ever again.
