*By Louise Jaffe Acting PTSA representative for the Samohi Walls Committee*

As the acting PTSA representative on the Samohi Walls Committee, I was shocked and dismayed to read on the front page of Saturday’s Daily Press that the Walls Committee had approved Jun Cha’s new mural. This is not true. The committee discussed the new mural and agreed to meet again in a few weeks as several key participants, including the PTSA President and the President of the African American parent group, were unable to attend. I repeat: The mural was not approved. There was no vote taken. There was a discussion. There was an agreement to meet again in two or three weeks.

Hopefully, the process will continue without further disruption; the Walls Committee will meet again and make a recommendation to the administration of Samohi.
