This matters to you.  It matters to you generally, as a member of society
living on Los Angeles’ westside.  It matters to you specifically if you are a parent,
or especially as one who holds in your heart some special regard for any child.

 

During recent elections a campaign slogan exhorted that our school board:
“build up our neighborhood schools so that they are strong”

In consideration of this imperative, we need to know:

 

¿ How will this “FIN” pilot school “build up” VHS ?

¿ How will this pilot school “strengthen” the district neighborhood school where it proposes to co-locate, VHS ?

¿ How will startup enrollment in the pilot school impact enrollment in district neighborhood middle schools (Mark Twain, MDR, Palms) ?

¿ How will this pilot school aide the current teachers of VHS ?

¿ Will the pupils of the pilot school benefit at the expense of VHS’ pupils ?

¿ What startup funds will be available for the new pilot school ?

¿ Will there be comparable startup funds for the new VHS STEMM magnet ?

¿  Will any programs or facilities be shared between
 pilot and VHS schools (e.g. athletics, activities, laboratories) ?

¿ Will incorporation of the pilot school physically crowd VHS students?
