Earlyretirement,
I heard the radio version of those stories on the KPBS radio station.
If I recall correctly, you live in the Willow Grove Elementary district. One of the people interviewed on the radio was a Santaluz parent who lives 3 minutes from Willow Grove, but whose child has been assigned to a PUSD school several miles away (can’t recall which, maybe Turtleback).
He was very upset because instead of bringing a temporary classroom to Willow Grove, they were doing improvements at another school. I strongly hope that my kids will get to attend our local school (Stone Ranch).
What City Councilman are you speaking of, though? If you live in the city of San Diego, I somehow doubt that the Council members have any pull with the PUSD, seeing as most of San Diego is part of SD Unified. Heck, I don’t even HAVE a councilperson since I live in 4S Ranch (unincorporated). I wonder if it would be more effective to write to members of the PUSD school board.
