“Do you read English?  Do you write English?  When you learn to speak English 
you come back to talk to me.”  --  LAUSD District One Area Facilities Service 
Director speaking to an American citizen of Mexican origin on 3/13/06.

   
   
  The man who said that to Maria Zaragoza, a building & grounds worker at 
Reseda High School, conducted the so-called “Skelly” hearing which is supposed 
to insure that she gets fair treatment when management accuses an employee of 
misconduct.
   
  Since then, Maria was fired, and at a February 28, 2007 hearing before the 
Los Angeles Unified School District Personnel Commission hearing, the lawyer 
for the school district who opposes Maria’s attempts to get her job back was 
overheard by the President of San Fernando Valley MAPA (Mexican American 
Political Association) and the President of San Fernando Valley LULAC (League 
of United Latin American Citizens) making fun of the accent of a student from 
Los Angeles Mission College who had come to speak on Maria’s behalf.
   
  Do you think that people like this will give justice to Maria?  
   
  On March 29, 2007 at 3:00 p.m. there will be another hearing before the 
Personnel Commission in Maria’s case at 333 S Beaudry Ave Los Angeles.
   
  If you can’t make the hearing, then call (818) 769.2035 or email [EMAIL

Unified School District.
