School Policy
* The Times article (“2 Trustees Push Their Causes With Little Effect,” Aug. 7) caught my attention because Santa Ana public schools are not a source of great pride to the city. Because the school board has to take partial responsibility for that, I was interested in learning more about their thinking.
Apparently, trustees Tom Chaffee and Rosemarie Avila have a different vision of what needs to be done to correct problems than do the other three trustees, Supt. Al Mijares and PTA President Kathi Jo Brunning. Judging the results of student performance for the past 10 years based on academic testing and behavior, I’d say it’s time to give Chaffee and Avila’s ideas more attention.
