CUSD Recall Committee Condemns CUSD Enemies List Did the Capistrano Unified School District improperly keep tabs on parents and their children? In a blockbuster investigative news report, the Orange County Register on July 11 published a story confirming that CUSD improperly maintained a database of information, including the names, email addresses and other personal information for people who early on were associated with the CUSD recall. In particular, the list included people who were on the recall group's electronic mailing list. Thomas Russell, official spokesperson for the CUSD Recall Committee stated, “It is very troubling, but not surprising, to learn that CUSD officials improperly created and maintained an enemies list. It is this type of abuse that caused the District Attorney's office to commence an investigation against CUSD, encouraged numerous elected officials to condemn the CUSD leadership, and convinced more than 25,000 people to sign petitions to remove the CUSD trustees from office.” Click on the link to read the article The CUSD Recall Committee urges all parents and taxpayers to demand that anyone involved with this outrageous government abuse immediately resign or be terminated. The CUSD Recall Committee is the organization that led South Orange County residents in the unprecedented campaign to recall all seven elected trustees of the Capistrano Unified School District. More than 177,000 signatures were obtained from south Orange County residents calling for the removal of all seven CUSD trustees. The campaign focused on serious financial mismanagement and alleged corruption at CUSD. The group invites ongoing discussion about this and other important CUSD issues on the CUSD Recall Committee Forum/Blog, which can be accessed here. |
