School's out for summer
By Jacob Levy, editor and publisher
Unless your child attends one of Irvine’s year-round schools, many Irvine residents are now wondering what to do with kids suddenly faced with endless free time. On our Facebook page we suggested many Irvine activities for families with and without kids and the response was considerable. Judging from the numbers of “shares” and comments, people were really happy to explore more of what makes Irvine so wonderful: the open spaces, the interesting places, and the people. See more comments on page 10.
Speaking of school, Irvine residents overwhelmingly voted to approve the IUSD school bond that will sell bonds to fund rehabilitation and modernization of facilities in the district. Whether you have kids in the district or not, many Irvine voters know that high-quality schools are important to the fabric of our city and to maintaining our high property values.
We can hardly believe that after the State of California and the Irvine Unified School District Board found the Portola High School site to be safe, YET AGAIN, the Larry Agran/Mary Ann Gaido/Irvine Community News & Views group is still out trying to convince people that the site is unsafe. We here at the Irvine City News have received email after email and Facebook comment after Facebook comment. And the message is clear: people overwhelmingly are tired of the misstatements designed to create a public scare for political gain.
Enjoy this issue and good luck with bored kids!
