News Brief, CUSD Rally
Editorial staff

Kevin Murphy, the San Juan Capistrano dad who started the recall of seven Capistrano Unified School District trustees, is ready to rally. He said, “It’s time for parents in CUSD to take back what is rightfully ours. These are our tax dollars that have built this ‘Taj Mahal.’ Spend some time, go walk your son or daughter’s school – and then take a look at the ‘Taj Mahal.’  After that experience, I’ll see you June 6 at 4:00.”

Murphy is referring to the rally being organized by CUSD parents to protest CUSD’s $52-million education center in San Juan Capistrano. Parents say the controversial administration building is out of place in a district where a high percentage of children attend class in rundown portables. Parents say funds that were once earmarked to renovate such facilities as Newhart Middle School were diverted into the administration building.

The rally will take place on Tues., June 6, 4 p.m., at the new CUSD education center, 33122 Valle Road, San Juan Capistrano. Participants will convene at the entrance to the parking lot of the education center. Go to the end of Valle Road, past the Volkswagen and Jaguar dealerships in San Juan Capistrano.
