SOUTH COUNTY : Education Is Theme of Democrats’ Picnic
The Democratic Party Committee of the 73rd Assembly District, which includes much of South County, will host a potluck picnic Sunday to address issues related to the theme “California--Education in Crisis.”
The picnic, which starts at 11 a.m, will be held at Guajome Park in Oceanside. There is no fee for admission to the event, which will include speakers, games, entertainment and food.
Speakers will include Supt. James A. Fleming of the Capistrano Unified School District; Jeanne Costales of the South Orange County Committee Against the Voucher; Assemblywoman Dede Alpert (D-Coronado), a member of the Assembly Education Committee; and Poppy Dennis of the Community Coalition Network in Solana Beach.
“The speakers will address issues on the pressure facing public schools and the effect the proposed voucher initiative on the Nov. 2 ballot will have on education,” said Lee Walker of Laguna Niguel, chairman of the committee.
The speakers will make their presentations starting at 1 p.m.
