STAFF REPORTS presentation was made by Alma Polk of the Associated Chaffey
T~achers (ACT). She introduced Maryellen Hill who made a
report on the overcrowded situation at Alta Loma High
School. Alma Polk then read the following statement:
"Associated Chaffey Teachers (A.C.T.) insists that
the Rancho Cucamonga City Council make a decision
immediately concerning the solution of problems
o'f overcrowded schools. Overcrowded schools
result in the deterioration of quality education.
No satisfactory solution to the lack of school
space for students has yet been found. Future
building will compound the present overcrowding
problem.
Unless the City Council commits itself to a means
of solving impaction or commits itself to placing
the moratorium issue on the ballot in the next
election, A.C.T. will take this issue to the
people.
