Jon Vranesh is one of the most outstanding Principals Walnut Grove ever had. His concern was always for the children's well being. The children loved him as well. The people involved in this BS are the ones that should be dismissed and credentials taken away. Those that received monies should have to pay it all back. Jon Vranesh was wrongly accused.

I wonder what would have come out about Lauren Andrade had the Vranesh situation not happened? During the exact same time as the Vranesh case was going on, Lauren Andrade, former AP psych teacher and varsity swim coach at FHS resigned from PUSD, was given a settlement of $40,000, and a while later her teaching credential was self revoked pending misconduct investigation and is still revoked.
