Another year, another new Principal at Santa Ana’s Valley High School. But this time they finally hired a guy that might get the job done. Patrick D.Yrarrazaval-Correa transferred to Valley from Carr Intermediate, where he had some success. Now he is being tossed into quite a mess.

Yrarrazaval-Correa brought along many key members of his staff from Carr. But when I tried to click on his name, and the names of his staff members, over at Valley’s website, I got nothing but dead links. I hope that is not a precursor of things to come! Continue reading→
