Coastal Voices Guest Opinion: Don’t punish students, teachers

Funding for education has been decimated by the current state leadership. At a time when lawmakers mouth the importance of improved test scores and quality education, they are firing young teachers and increasing class sizes!

Locally, school district leaders are choosing to “balance the budget” on the backs of students, teachers, and support staff by laying off school site employees.  In our county, 10 percent of the Del Norte Unified School District teaching positions have been eliminated in the past three years.

Dr. Douglas, a member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Science and Policy for the Coastal Ocean and one who serves on the China-U.S. panel on integrated coastal management. He stated in your March 4 article (“‘Rogue behavior’ cited”), and I quote him, “This is the most egregious violation by a local jurisdiction that I have ever seen in the history of the Coastal Commission.”

Coastal Voices Guest Opinion: State should stop overruling us

As a former supervisor who was very involved in the matter of Tolowa Dunes State Park, Lake Earl flooding and the closing of Kellogg Beach to traditional uses, I take exception to Peter Douglas’ rantings at Del Norte County’s government decisions (“‘Rogue behavior’ cited: Coastal chief blames damage on the county,” March 4).
