CUSD has made Mission Viejo a donor city for school projects elsewhere, unfair to the children and taxpayers of Mission Viejo

May 06, 2007 Filed in: O'Brien, Sharon
Sharon O’Brien, The Orange County Register “Mission Viejo has been a donor city to this school district for years and the result has been new and improved facilities elsewhere and a Taj Mahal of a district office. Meanwhile, high school parents have to raise funds to get the theater that every other CUSD high school already has, and elementary and middle school families have to send their children to some of the oldest and most neglected schools in the district.”

Tired of Mission Viejo taxes paying for CUSD facilities in other cities while the children in Mission Viejo schools are denied

May 06, 2007 Filed in: O'Brien, Sharon
Sharon O’Brien, The Orange County Register “It is inspiring to read about all the hard work and fundraising parents at Capistrano Valley High School are doing to provide a performing arts center for that community, but it is also aggravating to know that these facilities were provided to other high schools in the Capistrano Unified School District with Mission Viejo tax dollars.” O’Brien is a CUSD parent and resident of Mission Viejo.”

Capo Valley only high school without a theater; it's hard on students who want to know why they've been neglected

CVHS Mall 1
Amanda Glowish, The Orange County Register "Capistrano Valley High School's drama students gather after school on a small stage in a common area of the school called The Mall. Rehearsing for an upcoming production of "Bye Bye Birdie," they compete to be heard over the bouncing of basketballs, slamming of lockers and a zamboni-like machine that washes the floors. The school doesn't have a theater, so drama students face endless interruptions during rehearsals. The Mall also serves as a cafeteria and garbage is left on the stage daily. The school's Drama Teacher, Emily Holke refers to the area as a "cafetorium. "The students are always asking me why we don't have a theater," said Holke. "We are the only school in the Capistrano School district without one."
