Ok I grabbed your map file are you sure that POINTS should be lat lon
and not lon lat?
I think the X point should be first and the Y point second you have Y
first and X second.

Can I not do some sort of merge of the two shape files or better yet can
I not open both shape files programmatically and while looking at my
California zip shape file build the teacher shape file in accord with
the California shape file?
Thanks.

You need UNITS DD in your points layer where proj=latlong, or no UNITS
since DD is probably the default.
