Methodology and corrections

Our position and our standard

SaveGrossmont is an independent public-accountability advocacy project. Our conclusions are labeled as opinion. Source review does not certify every statement in a source. We link the exact passage and retain denials, qualifications and later developments.

What the labels mean

Primary-document fact

A statement about the contents of an agreement, official record or court opinion we reviewed; not endorsement of every assertion in it.

Attributed news reporting

An accessible original article reports this. We did not independently inspect every underlying email or payment record.

Allegation

A claim made by a party, not an adjudicated fact.

Opinion

An author’s argument or this site’s explicitly labeled conclusion.

Disputed claim

Material accounts conflict; the response is shown alongside the criticism.

Superseded claim

An earlier description changed; the current development controls, while history stays dated.

Unresolved research

Insufficient evidence to publish the proposed assertion; held in an internal queue, not presented as public fact.

Dates and money

Event, publication and review dates are separate. A settlement’s future obligations are not completed implementation. Annual salary rates are not salary paid. Reported settlement components do not prove disbursement, insurance coverage or an exact net cost.

Access and limits

All nine numbered article PDFs supplied by the owner through a shared research folder were reviewed alongside accessible original articles. Their October 10, 2026 clipping stamps are not the articles’ publication dates; the resignation-call article is from 2008. Private copies, unredacted personnel records and student identities are not republished. Unconfirmed votes, budget comparisons, payment details and legal conclusions are withheld pending better records.
