Trustee Bryson cautions district's reserves dangerously low

Anna Bryson, The Orange County Register "We're at 2.4 percent (reserves). Two percent is considered risky. We have to look at everything and be prepared for everything to protect the taxpayers."

Bryson is one of the "ABC" reform slate candidates, who won a seat on the CUSD Board of Trustees in the November 2006 general election. Bryson said she is particularly worried about the district's reserves, which have been drawn down in recent years to pay for employee salary increases without cutting services.
