Residents Explode on Superintendent, School Board During Emergency Meeting: ‘This Is Crazy!’

If you ever wondered why California is in the financial mess it's in, here's one reason ... they're nuts!

Jose Fernandez, who oversees the Centinela Valley Union High School District in Lawndale, Calif., reportedly earned $663,000 in 2013, according to KCAL-TV.

His district includes only three high schools with a combined total of 6,500 students.

The district also reportedly floated Fernandez a loan of more than $900,000 at 2 percent interest over 40 years. The loan was granted at a time when the superintendent had already declared bankruptcy.
