The civil liberties orga- nization is seeking class- action status for the suit, which accuses dozens of school districts statewide of charging for textbooks, uniforms and extracurric- ular activities. Mark Rosenbaum, chief council of the ACLU of Southern Cali- fornia, said at a press con- ference announcing the lawsuit that an investiga- tion by his group found some 50 districts that mention allegedly illegal fees on their websites, but that there are likely more that do so. ‘‘There does not exist in California a true sys- tem of free public Tahoe forest supervisor accepts Alaska post SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (AP) — The supervisor of the U.S. Forest Service’s Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit has accepted a similar post in Alaska. The Tahoe Daily Tribune reports that Terri Marceron will begin work Oct. 24 as supervisor of the Chugach National Forest. The 5.4 million-acre national forest in south central Alaska is one of the largest national forests in the country. A 23-year veteran of the Forest Service, Marceron was named as Lake Tahoe’s forest supervisor in 2005. Forest Service spokeswoman Cheva Heck says an inter- im supervisor at Lake Tahoe is expected to be appointed while the forest supervisor position is advertised.

Suit alleges Calif schools charging illegal fees schools,’’ he said. ‘‘Instead what we have are pay-to-learn schools.’’ Matt Connelly, a spokesman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is named as the law- suit’s defendant, said the administration is aware of the suit and will review it when it is served. California Department of Education spokes- woman Tina Jung declined to directly com- ment on the claims since her agency is not cited in the suit, but said that the department sympathizes with school districts that feel the need to impose fees. The suit says one plaintiff, identified only as Jane Doe, was not able to afford a history book that students were required to purchase and had to borrow one from the school instead. Since she did not own the book, the student had to use Post-it notes to mark important passages, while her classmates were able to write in the text itself, which put her at an academic disadvantage, Rosenbaum said. The suit said Jane Doe was also repeatedly humiliated in front of her classmates by teachers who publicly mentioned test fees and other course- work-related payments that she owed. Another student identi- fied in the suit as Jason Roe, who appeared with his mother in a video played at the press confer- ence, said he lost points toward his Spanish grade because he bought a less expensive binder than his teacher had specified. ‘‘She had recommend- ed a brand and we went to a less expensive store and got a less expensive brand and she didn’t like it because it wasn’t exactly the same even though he 30 gallon Raywood Ash Trees during the $60 Annual Fall Sale Sept. 10-19 1 gallon & larger size Plants 40% off Garden Center Red Bluff 766 Antelope Blvd. (Next to the Fairground) 527-0886 owns and operates the only on-site crematory in Tehama County. • Your loved one NEVER leaves our care. • For your peace of mind, we personally perform cremations on site. • No hidden charges.

The lawsuit cites a 1984 California Supreme Court ruling in saying that such financial obligations on public school students violates the state constitu- tion. It seeks an injunction directing the state govern- ment to publicize and enforce regulations pro- hibiting districts from imposing unconstitutional fees for courses for acade- mic credit. Rosenbaum said his organization would send letters to the school dis- tricts named in the suit Is cremation your choice? later Friday telling them about the legal action in hopes of dissuading them from imposing illegal fees during the school year that is now just beginning. San Diego’s school district rescinded fees last month after the ACLU wrote district officials a letter saying they were illegal. ‘‘Every other state in the union recognizes that the hope of a democracy relies upon the promotion and perpetuation of free public schools,’’ Rosen- baum said. ‘‘The con- struction that the state has apparently taken and that these districts have taken is that free has to mean something other than free.’’ Chief Paul Nanfito con- firmed that at least one mountain lion report was unfounded. If police encounter any mountain lions, however, officers have been given CORNING the authority to use deadly force, Nanfito said.
