PREYINGHAWK REPORT RUTH SARNOFF: HE'S BEEN FIGHTING SCHOOL DISTRICT'S TOXIC WASTES FOR YEARS

RUTH SARNOFF IS A LIVING LEGEND. HERE AT THE CHICO SCHOOL BOARD MEETING SHE TALKS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS IN THESE SCHOOL BUILDINGS. SHE HAS FOUGHT THE LOS ANGELES SCHOOL DISTRICT ABOUT THEIR DILAPIDATED SCHOOLS FOR YEARS. THE ELITES IN EVERY COMMUNITY, INCLUDING CHICO, KEEP PUTTING THEIR NEEDS IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN AND HARD WORKING PEOPLE OF CHICO AND BUTTE COUNTY.

GOD BLESS RUTH SARNOFF.

WAKE UP CHICO! IT'S ELECTION YEAR AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE A REALLY CLOSE LOOK AT WHO IS MAKING DECISIONS FOR THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT. HAVE THEY BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE? I DON'T THINK SO. BUT WE WILL UNPACK A LOT OF THESE STORIES SOON. BUT START WITH WHAT RUTH SARNOFF IS TALKING ABOUT. HAVE THE CHICO SCHOOLS BEEN HARMING STUDENTS AND TEACHERS? I AM FAIRLY NEW HERE AND DON'T HAVE KIDS IN THE SYSTEM. SO YOU ALL TELL ME OR GO LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF KELLY STALEY AND HER REIGN AS SUPERINTENDENT. 20 YEARS IS A VERY LONG TIME.

AND THERE ARE TWENTY % OF KIDS IN THIS DISTRICT ON SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION PLANS. 2,000! KIDS ON A DISABILITY PLAN OF SOME KIND THAT REQUIRES ACCOMODATION OF THEIR LEARNING PLAN. 20%. IT WAS 16% IN MARCH. AND 3% IN 2003. YOU TELL ME. IS KELLY STALEY DOING ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM?

LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT ME TO COVER ANYTHING ANONYMOUSLY OF COURSE.
