TeenScreen program officially dead in Fresno, CA.

Sharon Kientz, a California Eagle and former school board member in Auberry, California, has been acknowledged as having led the battle to keep TeenScreen, a mental health screening program, out of the Fresno School District. One board member received so many emails opposing TeenScreen that he said "please tell your organization that we have no interest in or intention to adopt TeenScreen."

Sharon was also honored several years ago by the National Right to Read Organization as its "Teacher of the Year," because she continued teaching phonics during her 20 years teaching kindergarten, even after California adopted the "whole language method."
