I bet that in the municipalities they looked at, city leaders did more serious advertising about the mail-in election: radio jingles, banner ads on buses, tv ads. There has been a lot of candidate advertising...maybe I've missed something, but it feels like the City has relied on a few PR releases to get the word out about the new type of election. I'm afraid that's going to be a big mistake.

The Independent's article fails to mention that Musser had been smoking marijuana, and he was very stoned when he murdered Ms. Zazueta.

Aren't municipalities required to take the lowest responsible bidder??

I hope serious reform comes but have no faith in the voters of California to do the rational thing.

My kids went to SMHS--Don't know about their letterhead, but they have four listed on their website and that's currently accurate:

Funding for one has been eliminated for next year. You can see a list of their assignments linked to the above website.

Don't know where you live, CalReader, but no high school here has anywhere near six vice principals. And I don't think you can have high school experience if you think one principal and one vice principal can manage over 2,000 students and 100+ staff members. I suppose teachers might like it--there would be no way to do teacher evaluations....

Californians have gotten themselves into this mess, and this is one of the real consequences. I don't think there IS a right way to save money when we've voted ourselves into a quagmire this deep. We're all going to be suffering as Sacramento is forced to slash through the budgets of every program and service that the state provides.

Hmmm. Good idea. Maybe our elected representatives already had it.

Wow. Talk about the "soft bigotry of low expectations." This editorial really makes me sad. Dual language students can both learn a second language AND know how to read at grade level plus demonstrably learn everything that any other kid can learn. Most upper grade English Learners at other dual-language schools do, but upper grade Cesar Chavez English Learners don't. To shrug and say "hey, maybe the school could be better, but it's popular so it's none of the board's business!".... Really?? They should just throw their most at-risk students to the wolves? You should rethink your position on this, Independent.
