Concerned about LAUSD sites for homeless students, west Valley neighbors want a face-to-face with local leaders |
|
A West San Fernando Valley homeowners group is calling on local officials to discuss the future of five Los Angeles Unified School District properties that the neighbors believe might be used to house homeless students. The Save Our School Sites Coalition, overseen by the Woodland Hills Homeowners’ Organization, has launched an effort to convince LAUSD board members Scott Schmerelson and Nick Melvoin, Los Angeles City Councilman Bob Blumenfield and newly elected Councilman John Lee to rebuild or preserve the school sites and to guarantee that the five sites “remain reserved for neighborhood school needs only,” according to the group’s recent newsletter.

U.S. history students at Patriot High School in Jurupa Valley saw a piece of history Wednesday, Sept. 11, as the nation marked the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. After learning about the attacks and researching stories of some of the 343 firefighters who died rescuing people from the burning World Trade Center, students went out on campus to view a beam from the wreckage of the New York City towers.

Gov. Newsom, lawmakers strike deal on $15 billion education construction bond |
|
After intensive down-to-the-wire negotiations, legislative leaders and staff from the governor’s office have agreed on legislation to place a $15 billion preschool, K-12 and higher education construction bond before voters in March 2020. The $9 billion that will go to K-12 will be slightly less than Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell, D-Long Beach, had proposed with Assembly Bill 48, but the distribution of the money will be significantly different.
