San Juan Capistrano, CA:

Orange County's second largest school district is in crisis today.

A nasty teacher union walk out has sent the Capistrano Unified School District scrambling to keep all of its 56 schools opened and operational.

Today, students faced picket lines from angry teachers, and as expected, enrollment suffered.

According to officials with the CUSD, the school day started "smoothly and without any major incidents."

Campuses began the day with all students together and then assigned them to appropriate classrooms. The teachers on the picket line, with few exceptions, have been orderly and respectful of their colleagues, students and parents.

Nearly nine out of ten regular classroom teachers walked off the job today, and 600 substitute teachers reported for duty.

It is estimatated that 48% of elementary students, 41% of middle school students and 24% if high school students were at school. More than 50,000 students attend school here at Capo Unified.

The cause of the walk out is over a 10% cut in pay for teachers due to the California budget crisis. The strike could go on for days, and parents need to be prepared.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
