Every morning I drop off my son Jacob at John Muir Fundamental Elementary School. We have to park and walk and as we do so we always stop and greet the crossing guard. She is there faithfully day in and day out, keeping us safe. She does a great job!
Thousands of SAUSD classified workers, just like her, have been crushed over the past few years, under the thumb of SAUSD President Audrey Yamagata-Noji, and her board majority. They have repeatedly laid off these hard-working employees, who do so much for our district.
The irony is that they have done this while building a $22 million dollar warehouse and while remodeling the District’s headquarters. And they have done this despite sitting on a huge reserve.
Our classified workers live here in Santa Ana, for the most part. They are our neighbors and our friends, and often our family. Needless to say, they are tired of the roller-coaster that Yamagata-Noji keeps relegating them to. These layoffs not only hurt the classified workers, they are devastating to their families and to the businesses they patronize here in town.

Should the older teachers earning the highest wages (over 100k per year) be laid off so the district can higher more beginning teachers and classified staff?
SPENDING SHOULD BE CUT BACK FROM THE TOP WITH CATERED MEALS AND WATER BOTTLES FOR THE SUPERINTENDENTS, BOARD AND OTHERS IN THESE MEETINGS.
WHY NOT GIVE THIS UP FOR 1 YEAR AND GIVE LUNCHES TO TEACHERS OR DO SOMETHING MORE FOR THE CHILDREN?

What a load of crap Mr. Art (No offense)
SAUSD has the highest paid teachers probably in the country and MOST if not nealy all are failing the kids they teach!
Moral of the story: bad parents, teachers = gang members and drop outs!
SAUSD teachers if in the private sector would not have a JOB!
Sure guy. If there is a business decision you’ll leave teachers and classified employees in the dust.
Rob,
You mean like Yamagata-Noji always does? No thanks.
If there is a business decision, as you put it, I won’t screw the SAUSD employees the way she has done for 20 years!
