Approximately 75 residents in the neighborhood around the site of the former Swain Elementary School on Newman Ave. in Cypress brought their own chairs to a meeting at Rosen/Acacia Park on the evening of Wednesday, July 14, 2021.
Their original meeting site was to have been on the school campus, but according to meeting organizers the School District threatened anyone attending with trespassing. So the meeting was moved to the City park right next door.
The primary reason for the meeting was to introduce a lawyer, Phillip Geurts of Guerts Law Firm in Huntington Beach. Meeting organizers requested that he speak to the group in order for the group to be able to present a united front.
