MISSION VIEJO : Cline Named to Fill School Trustee Term

Mission Viejo resident Bobbee Cline, a community volunteer, has been appointed an interim trustee of the Saddleback Valley Unified School District to fill the unexpired term of board president Kristine Kister Robinson.

Cline, 45, served as the first director of Citizen Action to Save Education, or CASE, a parent volunteer group organized in 1983 to lobby state legislators for school reform. She is married and has four children.

Robinson’s decision to move from the district and leave the five-member board suggested that the time was right for her, Cline said.

Cline will be sworn in at the board’s July 10 meeting. She will finish Robinson’s term in November and plans to run for a four-year term at that time, she said.--LEN HALL
