Letter: Warning from LTUSD
To the community,
Local contractors may be receiving phone calls and invoices regarding the “2013 California School Guide”. Please be aware that this guide is not sponsored by, or affiliated in any way with LTUSD, nor is this guide recommended by the Lake Tahoe Unified School District. The “2013 California School Guide” is developed and distributed by School Publishing (aka Medical Publishing, aka Municipal Publishing, etc.), an independent publisher located in Riesel, Texas.
This publisher solicits companies that have done business with school districts, hospitals, municipalities, etc. to purchase an advertisement in their guides. The company claims that “the guide is a high quality online publication that provides a valuable resource to school districts and educational agencies”. However, LTUSD cannot to confirm receipt of the publication either in print or online, now or at any time in the past.
Building contractors may not be fully aware of what they are agreeing to, as the district’s name is discussed in the verbal and printed communication. Invoices received by contractors not only include a confirmation number and amount due, but specifically name the “Lake Tahoe Unified School District.”
Please contact LTUSD at (530) 541.2850, ext. 225 if you have any questions or email info@ltusd.org.
Angie Keil, LTUSD
