Unite Mission Viejo Schools in One District After having just participated and having resigned from the boundary committee representing Capistrano Valley High School, I can say with all honesty that CUSD is broken and the time it will take to fix the problems seems insurmountable with the current split on the school board. With all that Mission Viejo has at stake, it seems apparent to me the city should investigate having all the schools in Mission Viejo secede from CUSD and join the Saddleback Valley Unified School District. Saddleback appears to have a plan in terms of facilities, finances and a relationship with their parents and students based upon mutual respect, trust and integrity – none of which is evident nor has been evident at CUSD for many years. It may take some time, but I feel this is in the best interests of our city and our schools. As the cities in the southern end of CUSD continue to grow, the needs of schools in Mission Viejo will continue to be neglected. After having witnessed the conduct of the San Clemente Talega parents firsthand, I observed they couldn’t care less about the schools in Mission Viejo. I urge our city council members to assess this and become the bridge in working with Saddleback Valley USD. Our city has lots to offer, and we need to take ownership of our city’s future and its quality of life. Ron Frantz |
