Plea From CUSD Parents

Plea From CUSD Parents
Meeting announcement

All Capistrano school district parents and concerned residents are asked to attend the Capo board meeting on Mon., Dec. 10, 7 p.m. It will be held at the Education Center Board Room, 33122 Valle Road, San Juan Capistrano. Students are also urged to attend.

Following is a message from CUSD parents:

It is imperative that we speak up and demand that Capo Valley High School is no longer overlooked. We must make sure our children have their basic health and safety concerns realized at their school, and we are long overdue for a theater. At the last meeting, some Capo parents addressed the board and were successful in getting board members to stop and reevaluate the needs of the district before spending funds in question. A $3-million football stadium for the new San Juan Hills High School will again be up for discussion, regardless of the fact that Capo High School has basic needs (not enough toilets, aged buildings – some beyond repair) and a theater that has been “talked about” since 1978. Capo High had to wait more than 25 years for our “parent initiated” pool.

Please go to the meeting. You can simply attend (please wear black and gold), or you can use this opportunity to speak for up to 3 minutes to call for responsible spending from our district. Go to the boardroom, fill out a card, turn it in to the secretary, and your name will be called. Taking this opportunity DOES make a difference. Students can speak, too! Parents from other schools are attending, but for some reason many Capo High School parents seem to have given up. Well, we are now in a position where we need to step up and demand what needs to be done. Many parents have worked so hard to get us to this point. We must not drop the ball! And please tell a friend.
