The main constraints are building new classrooms and finding qualified teachers. Since the energy crisis hit, schools have participated in conserving by turning off lights and nonessential equipment. The FUSD school board adopted a resolution for an eight percent reduction in energy use district wide. I was wondering what your opinions are on the subject of the daytime curfew. I am a high school student myself, and I feel that our civil rights are being violated.
Truancy is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach.
Instituting a daytime curfew without providing positive alternatives for youth, we feel, will not be effective. At the Fresno Unified school board meeting last night, the school board reviewed all of the programs the district has in place to deal with truancy. Many of the programs are successful and effective, but need expansion. While the truancy item on the agenda was not an action item, it was a consensus of the school board to oppose the truancy ordinance as presented. I have noticed what appears to be a hugh difference in facilities when comparing Fresno schools to those located in Clovis.
