Sonoma County (CA) Project 10, a "gay and lesbian support group," has already visited schools in other Sonoma County districts (such as Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park). Their request is causing great controversy in Petaluma and has met with "bitter debate," according to a local newspaper account. The P.E.R.S.O.N. Project asks folks to write to the COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION AND COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT, to take this policy matter to a higher level to seek a favorable and SYSTEMWIDE resolution of the matter. Please write to: Superintendent of Schools and Sonoma County Board of Eduation Sonoma Cty Office of Ed. 5340 Skylane Bl.
