No sooner had the standing-room-only crowd at last week's school board meeting recited the final line of the pledge of allegiance when a sea of signs reading "Save John Muir" and "Kids' Safety First" shot into the air. The July 1 public meeting of the San Jose Unified School District had been called following a recommendation from superintendent Dr. Linda Murray that Broadway High should move to the John Muir Middle School campus. A continuation high school, Broadway accepts students who drop out of other San Jose Unified high schools, mostly because of attendance problems. Forty-five of the school's 300 students attend the school's young mother's program. Despite nearly three hours of protests and threats from angry Muir parents who worry that the Broadway students will be a bad influence on their children, the board voted 4-1 to follow Murray's recommendation.
