Marianne Irwin, CUSD Teacher, Oct 15, 2007

"...on behalf of so many tea- chers, please do the moral thing and find a way to re- duce class sizes. I don’t pretend to know the nuances of school finances, but I honestly believe we are beyond the threshold of a positive learning environ- ment." Bill Hoffman, CUSD Teacher, Oct 15, 2007

"Here in Orange County, with nearly 600 schools, we have fewer than 80 credentialed librarians (who area required to have both a teaching and a library credential), according to [Richard] Moore, who ranks Capistrano Unified School District as the worst offender." [Moore is VP of the California Assoc- iation of Library Trustees & Commissioners.]
