OUSD Viewpoints on the Education Alliance Blog

Long time OUSD activist and Foothills Sentry columnist Marjan Dunn had two items posted on the Education Alliance Blog this month.

The Education Alliance was the organization that was responsible for the election of the Education Alliance Slate that was eventually recalled in the Orange Recall: Marty Jacobson, Linda Davis and Maureen Aschoff. The Educational Alliance also ran two candidates in the last OUSD Trustee Election against Trustee Kim Nichols and Trustee Melissa Smith. The Educational Alliance candidates were defeated.

In one of the posts, Dunn calls for the elimination of the requirement that OUSD Trustees live in the Trustee Area they represent. This requirement has made it difficult to find candidates for slates that live in OUSD Area 2 and OUSD Area 6. The last time OUSD Trustee John Ortega in Area 2 ran for re-election he was unopposed. OUSD Area 6 has also been difficult to find candidates to run in with that Trustee Area extending into Santa Ana making it difficult for conservative and moderate slates to find candidates who live in the area.
