SAUSD may have to cut another $31 million

Actually Jane was right Art. Jane does serve the Board majority. The board serves us. Time to fire the board.

Good, best news i have heard.

CUT, CUT, CUT.

dismantle, throw out the ridiculous teachers poltical wing(CTA), fire the teachers and rehire only after they are evaluated in the class room.

BEST NEWS EVER!

O yeah, and if the parents refuse to take some responsiblity for their kids education deport them! kidding, don’t get your knickers in a swist. I thougt i would try the same tactic LA union thugs tried!

No just send them to jail:)

But the District has already cut the budget to the bone…oh no…what will we do? Don’t hurt the children. Sure they might all be getting breakfast and lunch free care of the U.S. Taxpayers, and may all have I-Pods and Cell Phones and Flat screen T.V.’s at home to watch the Spanish language DISH network, but parents cannot possible be expected to pay anything for their ninos education! This must not stand! Let’s have a strike or a protest. Si Se Puede! Where do we go to march against this?

Sorry Michele, They may all be illegal aliens but they have not all committed crimes… yet! Get your facts straight.

When santa ana voters wake up and remove the current board:Hernandez,Richardson and Noji then we will see change. If you keep voting for these bozos then nothing will change.

Dear Art,
I’ve live in the Eastside neighborhood all my life and I’m getting really frustraited. I keep calling city hall and they keep insisting I talk to a woman named Jill Arthur. I tell them, I didn’t vote for her, I want to talk to the Mayor. They will not let me talk to him. My promblems involve crime and sidewalks and I’m always polite but they keep screening me out. I even went up there to try to make an appointment, I say the Mayor meeting with people but they refused to le me meet with him. I’m getting too old to take on these battles but perhaps the young residents of Santa Ana can do something. I was wondering if you would write a post about this Miss Arthur and the city Manager Dave Ream. Who are they? Why do they have such power? I keep asking everyone who Jill Arthur is and they tell me she works for the city council and city manager. Well, if she works for the council, then why don’t they tell her to set up meetings with residents. I’m so tired now. I hate to complain but I feel that i should get better service. The only time I ever saw Mr. Ream or the councilmembers over the years was when they were promoting new taxes at our neighborhood meetings. Sorry for going on so long. I guess it helps to vent. I’ll look forward to posts about Mr. Ream and Miss Arthur. Take care.

Hola Art,
I agree with #11. I think a post about Arthur and Ream would be good to let others share stories of issues with them and City Hall. Can you make such a post? I have talked to so many Santa Ana residents who have been treated like dirt by Mrs. Arthur. Who does she think she is? Maybe if you do a post about her city employees or others can explain the hold she has on the council and Mayor. Please write a post about her. Gracias!

I have a feeling you’re not kidding Michelle.

Of course i am kidding, It would be impossible to say the least to deport, thousands of people. And as much as i would love to jail loser parents that think kids are just a product of sex, i dont think we have enough jail space!

Sorry Michele, They may all be illegal aliens but they have not all committed crimes… yet! Get your facts straight.

I think you need to wiseup mate, what do you think illegal means,”not illegal?”

duplojohn:

you must not have read my very first post?
I am a very busy woman, and have never really cared about illegal immigration from south of the border, until i heard that the Orange School district was closing my school. I tried to help them keep the school open by trying to find grants. I came across a grant for 480 schools called the QEIA, HPSG, 2mil for the HPSG and 3bil for the QEIA. Only 480 schools got the grant, everyone of the schoools being a title one school with the Marjority of the students hispanic. I started to get more info about: prop10,(healthy families) caloptima, social services, non-profits ect…… all making alot of money from illegal immigrants and their kids and making alot of very rich people even richer. Their is a form of socialism going on in Orange Country and the target population is illegal hispanics and their children.

My local school was closed, but i know why they closed it! It was summed up by the Orange unified assistant super, “Non-English speakers make the district more money than Engish speakers, that is just the way it is”.

Well, no longer!

Page 2008-2009 Orange County Grand Jury
Education of Parents in the Development of Strategies to Keep Their Children Out of Gangs
The Orange County Probation Department’s Gang Violence Suppression Unit provides education to parents and intervention to students for gang activity and behavior
The All For Kids Program enrolls students who are in need of medical care, glasses, prescriptions and health insurance
The Extended Day Sports Program provides after-school activities
The Familias Adelante Program provides six weekly parent/educator workshops on topics like domestic violence, healthy families, gang awareness, keeping kids safe from sexual predators, solutions to alcohol and substance abuse, and children’s sexual growth and development
The results shown by these programs are impressive. Students have significantly improved their test scores on both the Academic Performance Index and the Annual Yearly Progress tests. Scores have improved from the mid-400 range in 2005-2006 to the 700 range in 2007-2008. Pio Pico has also been able to maintain a 96.8% attendance rate that is above average for the district.
Privately Run
Organizations
Although these privately run organizations are not within the Grand Jury’s jurisdiction, they are worthy of mention because of their effectiveness in the prevention and intervention of gang activity:
The Boys and Girls Clubs: This group has a Gang Prevention through Targeted
•
•
•
•
•
Outreach Program. It is designed to prevent youths from entering gangs, intervene with gang members in the early stages of gang involvement, and divert youths from gang activities into more constructive programs. The Boys and Girls Club have also partnered with many other groups including the Pio Pico Project described above. The clubs frequently utilize former gang members to help children in their communities through participation in their local organizations. Because the Boys and Girls Clubs provide a place for children to play after school hours with adult supervision, they play a vital role in keeping children safe from the influence until their parents return home from work.
KidWorks: This group transforms neighborhoods in Santa Ana by building on the strengths and potential in the community through education, character formation and personal development. They have strategic partnerships with volunteers, churches, foundations and agencies. They offer such outstanding programs as a Homework Club that provides after-school tutoring, computer training and library resources for students. They also have a YouthWorks program that works with teenagers to help counteract the presence of gangs and drug dealers.
Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA): This program was established in 1985 as a project of the Junior League of Orange County.
•
•
The program is based on a national model developed in 1977 by Judge David Soukup in Seattle, Washington. CASA is the sole provider of volunteer advocates for the nearly 3,000 children in Orange County’s foster care system. Children helped by CASA have been taken from their parents because of abuse or extreme neglect. The program is 95% privately funded and is highly regarded in Orange County.
Westminster Family Resource Center: This center serves all families residing in the City of Westminster and surrounding communities. It provides services in three languages (English, Spanish and Vietnamese) at no cost. Services include after-school recreation and enrichment programs and gang prevention and intervention programs.
The Huntington Beach Youth Shelter: This shelter is run by the Community Services Programs Inc. It has housed and helped hundreds of children who are in crisis.
In addition, many County of Orange employees volunteer time to these community programs. For example, over 250 Probation Department employees act as mentors for the children at Pio Pico Elementary School.
There is also a California Gang Reduction, Intervention and Prevention Program (CalGRIP) that awards grants to cities and community-based organizations for programs targeting youth at risk of joining gangs or seeking to leave

Old ladies feel unsafe in Santa, because the taxpayer is paying for ridiculous feel good crap as shown above.
The cops know who the little baskets are and they don’t do a bloody thing about it, until they kill someone.

Political correctness is killing people in Santa Ana, as it did in Texas when the muslim (SOA) killed 13 soliders in a Texas fort!

And as for the Calgrip program. I will start a gang prevention program in Orange and i will call it “Your ass is grass”!
