From The Los Angeles Times: For years, Capistrano (Calif.) Unified School District was the picture of a quiet, upper-middle-class, high-performing system. Students in the south Orange County district still do well academically, but the adults have waged a loud political war for more than half a decade, and they show no signs of stopping. The teachers have gone on strike over a 10 percent pay cut. That's just the latest dust-up. An ongoing school board recall effort is the third in five years. Meanwhile, the district continues its yearlong search for a new superintendent. A wrongful-termination case by the previous superintendent, A. Woodrow Carter, was dismissed, and his predecessor faces trial later this year on charges of misappropriating public funds.
