The lawsuits claim manufactwers like Bryco are llable for gun-related deaths. Bryco is~ of the notorious •Bi.pg of .Fire,• a group of LQs Angeles·based 9\Ul manufac- turers that produces .small-cal- 1ber handguns. Most of the companies were either owned or operated by members of the Jennings family. But since the set of sweeping lawsuits against the gun mdustry, three of the companies have been slowly snuffed out. New laws have also placed ftirther restrictions and stricter standards for manufacturers. . . lfho stron{Jest fonu of legisla- tion comes by WdY of a state ;Senate bill that r~ gun companies to have their prod- ucts tested by an mdependent laboratory. ,EJtectivc m January 2001, the bill would make it a misdemeanor to sell any gun that isn't certified. . While anti-gun advocates b~ralded the bill, g\Ul mantifac- turers like Jennings tblnk it Will actually aid the mdustry. •Any gun thdt doesn't pass the test won't ·be sold,• Jen- rungs said. "The anti-gunners thought they were going to put Bryco out of business, but what they actually did by supporting the bill was put standards in place so we can be credited. We have no doubt Bryco's gWlS will pass the tests." · Janice Jennings, who runs ,. . . Bryco's doily operations, ~ that the Jaw gives gun compa.DJ.es more credibility. "No one will be able to can us a junk gun manufacturer ever agam," she sald. "When WC pass those tests, they will put us out of that category."

Although the lawsuits and leg1slatio11 has affected Bryco's business to some - degree, there is one thing the Jennings pronuse will not change. ·we aren't going any- where,• Jennings said.

The board will continue to look at the curriculum and make sure it aligns with new state standards. Adjustments may be needed to integrate the state's new testing and high school graduation standards with district ruJes, and the board will likely attempt to get in lock-step with the state's crackdown on "social promo- tion." When it comes time to write . the budget, the school board • will need to look closely at how 1 programs are funded, because the way the district is funded may change. If property taxes continue to rise in Orange County, the dis- trict may soon qualify as a "basic aid" district, as opposed to the current "revenue limit" 1 status. That would mean rely- ing on property taxes as fund- ing as opposed to receiving money from the state per child. Whatever happens, Black said, she wants to see the posi- tive trends of the past few years continue. "We've been hiring incredi- ble people. We've brought so many wonderful assets to our community, H she said. ~1 want to continue that empower- ment. H CITIES CONTINUED FROM 1 up staffmg for New Year's Eve.
