Millions of dollars of water and grass maintenance are spent every year. A new grass seed exists that needs no mowing and uses .25% the water as standard grass. No fertilizer is needed and it is very drought tolerant grows in sun or shade too. If you want to keep a few jobs, cut the grass not the Teachers. I am not a sales person for this product, just a subject matter expert and consultant and am aware of this. Info. is verified by UC Davis and Fox News, Farm Show Magazine, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Popular Science, CNN, yea and those "Greenie Weenies too on NPR.

Teachers will blame the administration, the administration will blame the State of California, the public will blame teachers unions, and I will blame an incompetent electorate. I guess I just summarized the next four news stories and numerous Letters to the Editor in three sentences. I'm sure the blame game will go around.

Its the district's reponsibility to not borrow money it can't repay (ie the loans taken out in 2004). Why should the employees foot the bill for a mistake the administration made. Maybe if Luanne Rivera hadn't pushed to get new buildings for HE and RCS before she left the board, the district, students and its employees would be suffering the consequences.
