Santa Ana parents: explore school choices at the OC Fair on Feb. 1

Many Santa Ana parents are upset at the news that 260 students at the SAUSD have opted to change their pronouns and thanks to legislation signed by CA Governor Gavin Newsom the school district is hiding this from the parents.

This has been exacerbated by the revelation that the SAUSD is buying schoolbooks that encourage kids to question their genders.

Parents who are now interested in finding other school options for their kids can learn about those options at the 2025 OC School Choice Fair, which will be held on Feb. 1 at the Santa Ana Zoo, from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at 1801 E. Chestnut, in Santa Ana.

This is a free community event that will feature student performances, free food and free raffles. Bonus – the first 400 attendees will also get free admission to the Santa Ana Zoo! This event is hosted by La Union de Padres.

Parents will be able to learn more at this event about schooling options including: Public charter, District, Online Learning and Home Schools.
