More CUSD happy tak - but the truth is, SJHHS access is so dangerous, pilot cars are needed to escort parents and students
Aug 30, 2007
Do you think, Joe? A pilot car will guide staggered groups of vehicles through construction on La Pata, BUT district officials said they may allow drivers to move freely through the area if traffic becomes backed up. So, CUSD admits this drastic safety measure is needed to mitigate obvious danger and comply with the terms of the district's EIR, but the district could suspend this badly needed and embarrassing safety measure if traffic backs up too badly. After all these years, and $140 million (and counting) spent, this is the best our CUSD facilities planning wizzards can do? Dixon is executive director of Capistrano Unified’s maintenance and operations.
CUSD spokesperson says CUSD is a 'full disclosure' agency, but district stonewalling tells a different story
Jul 23, 2007
Beverly DeNicola, email to The Full
Disclosure Network "When
we talked a few weeks ago you said that our
district was stonewalling. I pointed out that you
and I had never talked, and that I would be happy
to provide you with any any information any time,
just as I do with reporters and members of the
public. I have spoken to our Board President, and
Mrs. Benecke has asked me to provide you with
information on her behalf. Neither she nor I will
be available for an on-camera interview at this
time. I am looking forward to receiving the
questions that you said you would be sending to
me. I will respond completely and honestly to your
questions, except that, as I stated before, I am
unable to address questions that go to the recall,
which is a political process, or the legal process
involving our former employees. CUSD is a 'full
disclosure' agency. Give us a chance to prove that
to you."
DeNicola sent this to Full Disclosure in response to an email from Leslie Dutton, whose repeated attempts to interview the CUSD trustees and Superintendent Fleming for nearly two years had been rejected by the district. As CUSD's Director of Communications, DeNicola carries on the tradition of her predecessor, David Smollar, by spinning to cover the district's obvious stonewalling.
