I AM ADDRESSING THIS TO THE DISTRICT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS LADY? IF YOUR HUSBAND WAS OUT LOOKING HE IS THE ONE TO BLAME!! WHY WOULD YOU HARASS A LADY WHO YOUR HUSBAND WENT LOOKING FOR? MRS. SOCORRO HERERRA ORTIZ YOU WENT ABOUT THIS THE WRONG WAY. I HOPE CHIEF GARCIA & THE BOARD MEMBERS THINK ABOUT THE VICTIM. YOU SHOULD NOT BE WORKING AROUND OUR CHILDREN. IT SENDS A MESSAGE AND I DON’T THINK YOU BEING A SECURITY GUARD WHO NOW HAS A CRIMINAL RECORD SHOULD BE EMPLOYED WITH THE DISTRICT. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOUR HUSBAND DECIDES TO CHEAT ON YOU WILL YOU DO THE SAME THING TO ANOTHER PERSON? CHIEF GARCIA I HOPE YOU MAKE A WISE DECISION AND TERMINATE THIS LADY. WHAT IS A GROWN WOMAN DOIN ACTING LIKE A CHILD. MRS. HERRERA ORTIZ YOU NOW HAVE A RECORD AND YOUR JOURNY IS JUST BEGINING DUE TO COURT, COURT FEES AND WHATEVER THE JUDGE GIVES YOU. I AM PRAYING FOR THE VICTIM AND HER FAMILY MAY GOD BE WITH THEM. THE VICTIM IS NOT AT FAULT.
IN LIGHT OF THIS SECURITY I HOPE MEASURE WERE TAKEN AGAINST HER. I AM A PARENT OF JR HI STUDENTS. I HOPE THE DISTRICT DOES NOT ACCEPT HER BACK INTO OUR SCHOOLS! WHAT MESSAGE DOES IT SEND OUR YOUTH? MRS. HERRERA ORTIZ IS AN ADULT AND SHOULD KNOW BETTER. I HOPE THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS & CHIEF GARCIA TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT HERRERA ORTIZ DID WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIM’S RIGHT. I FEEL BAD FOR THE VICTIM SHE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS HARASSED. MRS. HERRERA ORTIZ IS NOT A CHILD AND SHOULD NOT BE EMPLOYED WITH THE DISTRICT SHE NOW HAS A CRIMINAL RECORD.
what was this lady thinking? was it worth loosing her job over her husband who went else looking for someone else? Chief Garcia you said it was a minor incident? what will happen if the man cheats on Mrs. Socorro Herrera Ortiz again? will Mrs Herrera Ortiz do this to another victim? i hope she is no longer employed with the district due to i have dis and what values does it tell my child? that it’s ok to harass another. i feel bad for the victim in all this. Mrs. Herrera Ortiz you are 47 yr old lady act your age and not like a kid!
CHIEF GARCIA I HOPE YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATIN THE VICTIM AND DISMISS MRS. SOCORRO HERRERA ORTIZ FOR THE WAY SHE CONDUCTED HERSELF. MRS. ORTIZ SHOULD NOT BE WORKING FOR THE DISTRICT WHAT MESSAGE IS SHE SENDING OUR CHILDREN? I WOULD NOT WANT MY KIDS UNDER HER SUPERVISION!!! WHAT MESSAGE ARE YOU SENDING THE VICTIM THAT IT’S OK WHAT MRS. HERERRA ORTIZ DID WAS OK? MRS. HERERRA ORTIZ RUINED HER REPUTATION OVER SOMETHIG HER HUSBAND WAS DUMB ENOUGH TO DO? WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF HER HUSBAND DOES IT AGAIN? WILL HSHE THREATEN THE NEXT PERSON? SHE MADE HER BED NOW SHE NEEDS TO TAKE THE CONSIQUENCES.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, CHIEF GARCIA, & SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS. I AM WRITING TO YOU ON THE CONCERN OF THE SECURITY OFFICER SOCORRO HERRERA ORTIZ. I PRAY SHE IS NO LONGER EMPLOYED WITH THE DISTRICT DUE TO WHAT KIND EXAMPLE IS THIS TEACHING OUR CHILDREN!!! IT IS TEACHING THEM THAT A SECURITY GUARD CAN HARASS ANYONE AND GET AWAY WITH IT. IF MRS. ORTIZ HAD ISSUES WITH HER HUSBAND SEEING ANOTHER WOMAN SHE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT UP WITH HIM. IS THAT THE KIND OF PERSON WE WANT TAKING CARE OF OUR YOUTH AND TEACHING THEM IT’S OK TO SEND HATE MESSAGES. I HOPE YOU TAKE ACTION AGAINST THIS LADY AND DISMISS HER FOR THE CHARGES EVEN IF THEY WERE MINOR WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF HER HUSBAND DECIDES TO STRAY FROM HER MARRIAGE AGAIN? MRS. ORTIZ SHOULD NOT BE WORKING WITH THE DISTRICT IF SHE IS DOING THINGS LIKE THIS! I PRAY CHIEF GARCIA TAKES ACTION DUE TO THE VICTIM WAS THE ONE WHO MRS’ SOCORRO HERRERA ORTIZ HARASSED. WHERE IS THE POOR VICTIM IN ALL THIS WHO IS TELLING HER IT’S NOT RIGHT TO BE HARASSED THIS WAY OR ANY OTHER WAY! MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE VICTIM SHAME ON YOU MRS. ORTIZ 47 YR OLD AND ACTING LIKE A LITTLE KID!! MY LAST NAME NMAY BE HERRERA BUT I THANK GOD I AM NOT RELATED TO YOU!!
