When do Huntington Park or any others parents decide what happen in another City. There was only one parents from South Gate spoke up for Aspire .In the community advisory votes in South Gate Aspire got least votes from employee and parents. I asked, myself if this action was a school a give away to Bill Gate and Eli and friends, and all policticans in Southeast area The Aspire Applicant have no parents and community member as guide linde for Public Choices. Yet, Huntington Park residents was able to speak on what best for South Gate.

By that definition (API 744 or below), 14 out of 15 Green Dot schools are failing.

Whether they will really get the support and resources they need to do the job, or whether it will be business as usual remains to be seen.
