60 Mission Viejo Teachers on Chopping Block

Two dozen Capo Valley High teachers would be let go, along with deep cuts at Hankey and Newhart middle schools, if the school district makes good on its layoff notices. Here's a list of affected teachers.

Mission Viejo would lose 60 teachers if the makes good on all the layoff notices it sent area teachers.

One school could lose two dozen teachers. Another could lose 60 percent of its teaching staff. Yet another could lose its Spanish immersion staff.

  • Read the chart below this article to see who is on the layoff list.

The list includes coaches, assistant principals and a department chair. Special education teachers make up 18 percent of the total who may lose their jobs.

Others with threatened jobs include music teachers, English teachers and science teachers, as well as grade-school teachers.

stands to lose much of its dual immersion program staff. Five of the eight teachers from that school belong to a program that teachers students Spanish throughout the school day.

To read why the district finds itself in this bind, and how this year's laid-off teachers may not be rehired as in years past, .

It is a private organization, so what they do with their rules, is really their business.Read More Homophobia is not against the law, especially since they are not involved in any discriminatory practices. That said, the fact they choose to air this out allows one to comment on it. As to why anyone would wanted their kid in such an organization is beyond me, but the tide is clear, and increasingly bigotry is being chipped away. So, to those kids who want to be part of this organization, I hope it brings them some joy. It is not as if there were no gays in the Boy Scouts before, it is just that they now can announce that they exist.

Latin America, with 90% Catholics, will be OK with anything the pope says, remember that he is aRead More Latin American himself, so he is good there. Africa, I don't know. But if I know how it works, he is the church maximum authority and no one would dare to contradict him. And because of all the power he have, I'm glad he said that instead of demonize atheists and spread hate.
Shripathi Kamath May 23, 2013 at 03:12 pm
Good PR, or so the Vatican thinks. But now there'll be a demand by the fundamentalists toRead More "stop corrupting the Church" Even if the USA has Catholics, as its largest religious group, it is not much of an issue. How Latin America and Africa respond to this would be interesting.

Yeah, my grandfather said he didn't want to go to Heaven, because it would be nobody to talk there.Read More The Catholics won't argue anything the pope said and they won't be offended, and you probably know more about the basic premises of Christianity than most of them. Other Christians? they don't care about the pope right? I don't know. Why did he say that? Do you think he want to sign up some atheists?

I guess Patch.com will be issuing a refund.

I was referring to the fact that the link leads to a clip from Pete Seegar's show; he joins SonnyRead More Terry and Brownie McGhee in "Key To The Highway." The harp work alone you'll never see the likes of on TV these days.
Shripathi Kamath May 22, 2013 at 02:37 pm
Modern TV has moved to cable. Still, there are the occasional shows like "House MD" orRead More "Elementary" that work well. "The Big Bang Theory" is waaaay better than "Three's Company" Anything is better than "The Love Boat" Or are you nostalgic for "Bonanza" where the dad looks 55, and his three sons about 48? Reality shows are just ways of pissing off more people who think "Well, I can do that!" or "Look at those fake housewives!"

Hi Charlie, So McDonald's sold it. That was hardly the point of the piece was it? And I wasn'tRead More bashing Chipotle, Charlie, I was bashing our collective notion that education is about "getting a better job." I was bashing our total disrespect for education and educators. The last thing we need to do it bash their unions. We need to take a look at the leadership of the union but the vehicle of the union is all that stands between us and corporate greed.
Shripathi Kamath May 22, 2013 at 10:16 am
In what respect, Charlie?
Charlie Woodward May 21, 2013 at 03:09 pm
Dan, I read your blog about the Free Burrito for Teachers. I happen to support Chipotle, and ownRead More stock in them. One thing you need to research. THEY ARE NOT OWNED BY MCDONALDS ANYMORE!!! As I do agree, teachers are under paid, but offering something like Chipotle did is great. I think we need to bash their unions instead of great companies like Chipotle who are just offering a benefit.

I know where they should be issuing speeding tickets: Marguerite Pkwy. between Crown Valley andRead More Avery Parkway between 6:10 and 6:25 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. Teens are frantically rushing to get to CVHS upper lot before it gets full. Every morning I see kids running red lights, speeding and weaving in and out of traffic with no regard for anyone else.

There is a reason why sites like Patch 2.0 don't look good on Shripathi's Kindle-whatever screen,Read More but these sites do look great on the iPhone in Portrait for Landscape view.

The Bible also tells us that there were magicians who filled Egypt with blood, just like YahwehRead More helped Moses do. As to why magicians would fill the Nile (drinking supply), and their own country with blood, and stink it all up just to put Yahweh in his place is anyone's guess. Maybe this psychic can ask one of those magicians and let us know.
