Recall Petition Signature Gathering Starts
The effort to oust Orange Unified School Trustee Steve Rocco began today Friday June 29th with the circulation of the offical Petition to Recall. A small group of Orange Unified citizens has undertaken the task to collect 11,100 valid signatures to force a Recall Election. The citizen group has until September 21st, 2007 to collect the signatures. To ensure enough valid signatures at least 15,000- 16,000 signatures will need to be collected.
The Orange Communication System has posted a Rocco Recall Signature Countdown Clock on the Greater Orange News Service webpage (CLICK ON: GONS ) which will count down the days and time until the signature deadline.
Hoffman says she will have to move to run
Unlike being a Congressional candidate that has no residency requirement that you live in the Congressional district you want to represent, Orange Unified’s requirement that you live in the OUSD Trustee Area you represent (but are elected by the whole district) has apparently caught up with would-be OUSD Rocco opponent candidate Florice Hoffman.
The following is the record of the first short-lived

June 21st, 2007 Florice Hoffman email
At 2:23 pm Hoffman writes the following email to Orange Net News:
"Unfortunately I don't yet have a website, but I am planning to have one as soon as the recall is approved.
I am waiting to see how the recall signature effort goes as I am planning on challenging Rocco.
Words cannot express my frustration with his tenure.
From teacher pay to class size reduction to facilities to NCLB, Rocco has missed major opportunities to improve education and our district. When I think about how he wastes time speaking about conspiracies instead of improving education all I can do is roll my eyes and shake my head in frustration. He is a distraction and a detriment to public education.
I will get off my soap box now; talk to you soon,"

“That was a error on the part of that blog. She is not running against Rocco, doesn't live in that trustee area. That blog wasn't listening - they got creative with a little bit of info, without paying attention to the details. Oh dopey them!”

“ANOTHER UPDATE (6/23/07): Ms. Hoffman followed up with a second e-mail:
1. I have to move if I run.
2. My sons do not graduate from Canyon High School until June, 2008.
3. I am an employment attorney, run my own business and not a layer[sic].
4. I am committed to public education and making sure that OUSD has great
and safe schools.
5. I do no find all this blogging constructive. I am too busy raising my
children, working and making Orange County a better place to live.
Thank you,
Florice Hoffman”
