[television is just wrong]

Now we need to expell illegal alien children too.

Sunnyvale High School is built on the mouth of a hell hole. They're lucky they were expelled.

(EXTREMELY nuanced humor alert in three... two... one....)

Well, what do they expecting, building a school on the Hellmouth?!

Wow! I went to elementary school in Sunnyvale! Never had any idea it was such a magnet or center of academic excellence.

"We've heard of parents renting apartments for two months, moving clothes into other people's homes, renting post office boxes for $500 a month.."

PO boxes for $500 per month?

I'm not sure I'd want my student-child exposed to such inferior consuming practices.

Yes, isn't that where Buffy fought the forces of evil?

That's sunnyDale... DALE!!

Though it is quite amazing that Sunnyvale is considered a great school... tells you all you need to know about california schools.

This is school choice under the socialist policies of our monopoly school systems...

"The school district is enforcing a policy that limits enrollment to only those students who can prove that they live in the district. "

I caught that in the article. The STUDENTS need to prove they live in the district, not the parents of the students. I don't know if i should chalk that up to bad reporting, or if those are the actual rules.

expel illegal alien children too - I am willing to allow my taxes to go to educate those children. I would rather they get an education than to be a burden for generations.

[blackdog]

Of course since the federal and state monies the district collects on those 300 students will mean a tax increase for the locals since the bloated payroll is already being fed for those 300.

Flat enrollment means a tax increase. Increased enrollment means a tax increase. Falling enrollment means a tax increase. At least that's how they s'plain it to us in our school district. And they do it with a straight face!

Wow....right after basketball season....

[latina4dubya]

but, but what about "pro-choice?" isn't California for choice and tolerance?

[discostu]

One could be a student and be over 18 depending on when your birthday is and whether or not you passed every year. Also they could be emancipated minors or orphanage dwellers. The actual rule probably has the standard school litany ("student, parent, gaurdian, or appropriate legal representative").

renting post office boxes for $500 a month.."

Yikes. Real estate prices are out of control in California before. In Ohio you can get a whole apartment for $500/month.

[SF Republican]

California for choice and tolerance - as with all things in this great country and I am sure in your community, some people are for choice and one would hope for tolerance. I do not think our tolerance includes people breaking the law or community statutes.

What, no Sarah Michelle Gellar pictures? :)

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I'd rent them mine for $450.

I don't know if i should chalk that up to bad reporting, or if those are the actual rules.

Probably the actual rules.
There was a case in our school district where the child was living with the grandmother, even though the parents were still legal guardians, just so the child could go to a particular school.

Mayor Hahn of Los Angeles was interviewed about a week or so ago and said that ONE THIRD OF THE KIDS IN LOS ANGELES PUBLIC SCHOOLS CANNOT EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH!
