Mission Viejo resident: payment of Fleming's legal fees would constitute misplaced priorities

Kelly Henry, The Orange County Register "When the kids start (school), the teachers ask, 'Can you bring in Kleenex boxes, because we don't get money for that. It'd be ridiculous if we're paying for his legal fees when teachers … are asking for Kleenex boxes."

If possible, admin building should be sold and money spent on facilities and supplies for the children

Pat Plepler, Dana Point News "Money once spent cannot be unspent ... unless ... unless ... that grand edifice could be sold to some large business venture and, following that, the "support staff" put in Quonset huts. (Many of you will not remember Quonset huts; others never heard of them at all. Springing up during World War II, they were somewhat like the temporary buildings we use for classrooms, only even more temporary.) As for the money recovered from the sale of the fancy new building, put it where it is most needed, and no, I don’t mean teacher’s salaries. I mean things to directly benefit kids, like decent, clean buildings, large enough to accommodate as many as needs be, with lockers for all, books for all, a library in each. From all that I read, hear, and observe, we have top notch teachers here."
