News "No matter how hard
they work, it's hard to keep up an old
(75-year-old) facility... It's like putting a
Band-Aid on it (the problem)."
Archbold, a Capistrano Beach residient, believes school teachers, administration and staff are trying their hardest to make her children's school (Las Palmas Elementary) its best, but after watching the problems continue and trying to be patient as other pressing issues around the district arise, there she believes there comes a point when parents have to say enough is enough.

new school get another new lawn or sprinklers ...
I want to see my school fixed."
Archbold, a Las Palmas Elementary School mother, hasn't seen parents' patience with CUSD pay off as kids are ultimately not the No. 1 priority. In terms of the district's new administration building, Archbold sees the profit and cost benefits of having staff in one building, however, she feels the health and educational impact of an old building on children should come before that need. Archbold said the remodel at Las Palmas is a nice effort, but she wonders why a multipurpose room receives attention when kids won't go into the third bathroom because of the smell.
