Bad enough that the Santa Ana Unified School District is screwing the children of Santa Ana, now the lying administrators at the SAUSD are hurting kids in other school districts as well. The SAUSD recently decided to pull its students out of a program for the deaf and hard of hearing, over at the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. The decision has resulted in a phase out of the entire program at Kaiser Elementary.
The Daily Pilot first reported that “a program for the deaf and hard of hearing that is being phased out at Kaiser Elementary school is not the result of Santa Ana School District students being pulled from the program, Santa Ana officials said Tuesday.”
However, two days later a very different story emerged, “Newport-Mesa Unified School District officials did not initiate the discussion about phasing out a program for deaf and hard of hearing students as a Santa Ana Unified School District representative said recently,” according to the Daily Pilot.

A couple weeks ago I revealed the names of the politicians and their sycophants who accepted “free” Orange County Fair concert tickets. According to the O.C. Register the value of these tickets was $376,000 over the last two years.
The Register revealed this week that the concert ticket fiasco was just the tip of the iceberg. The O.C. Fair Board also “spent $399,000 during the past five fairs on nightly catered meals for themselves and their invited guests, invoices from the fairgrounds show.”
The same people that took those concert tickets ate high on the hog, on food that cost about $20 a plate. Nice. Guess who got stuck with the tab? That’s right. The taxpayers. You can read the receipts for the meals we paid for at this link.
“State auditors have twice warned that the catered meals, free concert tickets, complimentary fair admissions and other promotions have surpassed the limit imposed by state law and could be viewed as a gift of public funds,” according to the Register.
