Arroyo Vista PTA

Arroyo Vista PTA caught misrepresenting national, state and district PTA support, now spinning to cover up lies

Alejandra Molina, Rancho Santa Margarita News "The park use issue recently resurfaced after the Arroyo Vista PTA sent letters in February to SAMLARC and CUSD asking them both to reassess the park use policy at the school. Language in the letters suggested that the national, state and district PTAs supported the group in its efforts. The move angered some CSRSM members, who later verified that the national, state and district PTAs are not taking sides on the issue. The Arroyo Vista PTA has said it did not intend to make it sound like the groups were on its side, and acknowledged that language in the letter should be reworded."

The PTA letter was assertive and unequivocal in its misrepresentation about national, state and district PTA support ... so much so, that all three oraganizations saw right through the ploy and the state PTA minced no words, ordering the Arroyo Vista PTA to "cease and desist." The simple fact is, the Arroyo Vista PTA got caught doing something dishonest (again) and, as usual, they are compounding the offense by spinning to cover it up.
