Democratic Club

In last week’s column, the Democratic Club reported that the Orange County Registrar of Voters announced that there would be no election to recall Los Alamitos School District Board trustees. The effort to oust Chris Forehan, Scott Fayette and Megan Cutuli had failed. This was good news for Democratic Club members and supporters who had been urging Leisure World voters not to sign the recall petitions if they were certified for distribution.

There is a new push to support non-public school education through what is being identified by its supporters as school choice. Reportedly, there will even be an effort to put Education Savings Accounts, or “ESA” voucher programs on the November 2022 California ballot.

Locally, there is a new Orange County club that focuses on issues facing school boards, community college boards and the Orange County Board of Education. The goal of Supporters of Public Education (SOPE-OC) is to protect and promote truth and excellence in public education.

Information about this newest Orange County Democratic Club is available on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ SOPEOC.

Anyone who is interested in what is going on in the Los Alamitos School District should Google “Spotlight Education.” This online newsletter is committed to accurate, fact-based reporting that clarifies the issues by going beyond partisan narratives.

For more information about these and other issues, LW Democrats and supporters can subscribe to the club’s free electronic newsletter. Email democraticclubsblw@gmail.com
