I will not get into the debate with the Gutshall, a teacher at Fesler Junior High School, said Tissier's speech "questioned the integrity of the association leadership." He said the statements made last week reflected the association as a whole and Monday he began visiting schools to "take a "I'm confident that what I heard two weeks ago, two months ago and at the beginning of the year, I'm going to hear again," Gutshall said, adding that teachers at Miller reiterated concerns about the district's priorities. Ray, a school projects specialist, said this morning he "was really shocked" by Tissier's statements during the meeting and "couldn't find anything in the (article) that justified that reaction." "(Tissier's speech), to me, didn't seem like an attempt to end controversy or conflict," Gutshall said. "The only message I got is she's against people going public (with concerns)." As for Tissier's threat of resignation, Ray said, "I don't think that there is any feeling on the part of anybody I'm in touch with that her resignation is anything that we would want.

Quite the opposite." Ray said he has asked to meet with Tissier and wants to "return to the positive relationship that has always existed between the board and the district." Tissier called on her staff to support her, voice their objections to the statements and commit themselves to telling the truth and establishing a positive working relationship. "If you don't stand up, I will not be a part of this I will resign," Tissier said, eliciting hearty applause from the audience. Trustee Mary Burk, addressing the crowd before Tissier spoke, urged staff to realistically consider the district's alternatives. Before Tissier presented the proposed cuts to the board, teacher on special assignment Betty Miglicre objected to slashing the early childhood education program she runs and putting her back in the classroom. "Please consider the appropriate education of your youngest students one of your main priorities," Board Migliore said.

Craig Beebe president said he would like to prioritize the proposed cuts so the board can restore funding accordingly if the budgetary picture brightens.

In Puerto Limon, dozens of houses fell apart with the first jolt, since virtually all the city's homes are old and wooden. Alberto Lee, a Red Cross official, told a news conference that a preliminary survey showed that 11 people died and 24 were injured in the collapse of the International Hotel a and the office building. The Customs House was also destroyed. The local hospital was so badly damaged that all 28 patients had to be moved out, including 12 newborn babies who were flown to San Jose. But dozens more injured, some seriously, could not be evacuated to San Jose because of blocked roads, hospital spokesman Antonio Matarrita said in a telephone interview.

"Many hospital patients and those injured during the earthquake are being treated in an emergency tent, set up in the street near the hospital," Red Cross spokesman Miguel Orozco eight people building. system was also out. said.
