Thank you all who supported our children in opposition of @DrDeasyLAUSD proposal to eliminate the $7M Program. 

Parents throughout Los Angeles mobilized to support after school programs and demonstrated opposition to the Superintendent's proposed money saving measure.  This included a Press Conference by Local School Board Member Bennett Kayser hosted by our neighbors at Dahlia Heights Elementary and an online petition which garnered over 1,300 signatures in support of funding our after-school programs

On Tuesday, the LAUSD School Board had a symbolic vote unanimously in opposition to Dr. Deasy’s proposed cut which would have impacted thousands of our children who participate in these threatened after-school programs.

According to the Los Angeles Daily News, Superintendent Deasy announced late Wednesday that he will find the $7M to continue the after-school programs.

“Though funding is extremely tight, we must do all that we can to preserve vital programs that serve some 42,000 children across the city," Deasy said.

Today, Thursday, June 28, the LAUSD School Board will meet again to vote on the proposed $6.3B Budget for fiscal year 2012.

Come celebrate as the office of Councilmember @JoseHuizar joins local community groups to host a Concert and Fireworks show in honor of Independence Day this Sunday, July 1st, at Eagle Rock Rec Center.

Festivities are scheduled from 4:00p until 9:00p (wth Fireworks beginning at 8:30p). So come out for some fun, food, music and more as we celebrate our nation's 236th birthday!

Our community partners at Dahlia Heights Elementary are inviting you to attend a press conference, tomorrow, Friday, 06/22/12 at 10:30a with our Local School Board Member Bennett Kayser to protest the cuts to after school programs such as Beyond The Bell. 

Conference will be at Dahlia Heights Elementary which is located 1 block east of Trader Joes:

Dahlia Heights Elementary School
5063 Floristan Ave
Los Angeles, CA  90041

After more than 1300 bright idea submissions and 10,000 votes, our very own Amanda Millet is one of the three winners of the 2012 LAUSD My Bright Idea Challenge.  Amanda's Bright Idea, "Online Kindergarten and New Student Enrollment" helps to alleviate the human and natural resource demands by enacting a process that can be fully or partially completed online and directly entered into an LAUSD database. Paperwork that needs signatures, or staff review can be printed out ahead of time and submitted, reducing printing costs,
paper waste, and staff time. 

Congratulations Amanda on your selection for one of three, $3,000 Bright Ideas Awards!

See you tonight, Wed 6/5 from 5:30p to 7:00p. Visit the Reflections Exhibition in Room 29, @EREEF90041 Silent Auction, Food Trucks and more!
