To the editor: On this article (“Tons of of 1000’s fewer college students, however few closed faculties. Can LAUSD make the mathematics work?” Aug. 28), L.A. faculties Supt. Alberto Carvalho is cited as saying that the district may “lower your expenses by closing underused buildings.” Carvalho says that might be a final resort, however the article doesn’t supply a lot in the best way of discovering makes use of for unused lecture rooms.
I want to current an possibility that was in place when my kids have been children within the Redondo Seashore Unified Faculty District within the early Seventies. On the time, Redondo Seashore faculties have been experiencing unused classroom house because the Fifties inhabitants increase grew up. Some forward-thinking people designed and applied a before- and after-school care program the place working/scholar mother and father (principally single moms) may drop off their kids. My kids have been members at Tulita Faculty, open from 6 a.m. to six p.m. The day-care employees noticed them to and from their lecture rooms. Extra packages throughout day care included walks to the seaside, ballet lessons, boat constructing, caring for animals, and so forth. The day care was obtainable full-time when college was not in session.
I’ve puzzled for many years why that program went away, however now looks like a very good time to revisit it L.A.-area large. Much more than what to do with extra actual property, it could assist resolve the larger dilemma: lack of reasonably priced little one care.
