NEWS RELEASE -- San Diego Unified General Counsel Leaving for Private Practice

NEWS RELEASE from the San Diego Unified School District, Oct. 25, 2010

SAN DIEGO UNIFIED GENERAL COUNSEL LEAVING FOR PRIVATE PRACTICE

SAN DIEGO -- Mark Bresee, General Counsel of San Diego Unified School
District, has resigned from the district, effective Nov. 30.

Bresee informed the Superintendent of his decision a week ago, and submitted
his letter of resignation to the Board of Education on Oct. 21. He will join
the education law firm of Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo
(http://www.aalrr.com/aboutus/aboutus.aspx) as a partner.

Since joining San Diego Unified two years ago, Bresee has focused on
reorganizing the district legal office to reduce costs by handling more
legal matters with in-house staff.

"Mark has provided excellent counsel to the Board and excellent leadership
for our legal services office. Through his efforts we
realized significant savings in our overall legal expenses," said Richard
Barrera, Board President. "Mark is as fine a public servant as I
have ever encountered. Thanks in large part to his work and leadership in
labor negotiations, our employees agreed to share in the sacrifice through
financial concessions that are helping us survive the on-going fiscal crisis
facing the district. We wish Mark well in his new position and thank him for
his service to our district and our students."

In his new position with Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo, Bresee will
represent school districts throughout Southern California on legal matters
and labor negotiations.

MEDIA ADVISORY -- Schools' Police Chief Discusses Potential Budget Impacts

MEDIA ADVISORY from the San Diego Unified School District, October 22, 2010

SCHOOLS' POLICE CHIEF DISCUSSES POTENTIAL BUDGET IMPACTS

WHAT: News conference discussing impacts of potential budget cuts on safety
and diverting at-risk students, before Board of Education testimony.

WHEN: 4 p.m. Tuesday, October 26

WHERE: SDUSD Police Headquarters, Eugene Brucker Education Center, 4100
Normal Street (92103)

DETAILS: Don Braun, Chief of the San Diego Unified School District Police
Department, will be discussing testimony he will give to the Board of
Education on Tuesday evening regarding the District's state of emergency
preparedness and the probable impacts of the department's elimination in the
face of a projected $141 million budget cut for the 2011-12 school year. The
district's police department currently is on the list of services to be
eliminated, although action has not yet been taken by the Board of
Education. In light of the recent school shooting in Carlsbad and the
hazardous material (mercury spill) at Mission Bay High, Braun will talk
about the department's role in responding to emergencies on campus, as well
as how school police officers help keep schools safe and students secure.
He will also discuss the impacts on schools and the city if the San Diego
Police Department is asked to take over responsibility for our schools.

PHOTOS/SPEAKERS: San Diego Unified School District Police Department
facilities will be open for viewing, including the dispatch center,
Emergency Operations Center and mobile communications van. In addition to
Chief Braun, several school principals are also expected to attend; Board of
Education members may be available for comment.
