School District study session on K-12 schools, Feb. 7, 2011

For any community members who would like to know more about the idea of K-12 co-location, I urge you to attend the special study session by the school board.

Last November Emeryville voters approved a school facility bond measure that will help to finance a new school at the site of the current Secondary School (47th St./San Pablo Ave.). Part of the plan for the Emeryville Center of Community Life is that this facility would house all 13 grades for the district. Some parents have expressed concerns about the idea of a K-12 facility. In response, the school district set up 2 tours of a local K-12 public charter school. Now the school district is providing another opportunity to hear about the experience of Lighthouse Community Charter School and the families who send their children there.

The Center of Community Life will also include City of Emeryville Recreation facilities and a community library.

Please come to the study session, listen and share your opinion. As we plan and build this significant community project, all voices must be heard.

Sincerely,
Jennifer West
Emeryville Vice-Mayor
