The subcommittees identified key social, economic and educational resources. The subcommittees review area organizations for funding and volunteer opportunities and partnerships. The subcommittees reviewed strategic education plans, relevant research and developed design implications. This planning process involved six meetings of the steering committee, convening about every two weeks. The city plan for the Wilshire community calls for new schools, new parks, bike paths, preservation of cultural assets, and mixed use facilities.
Schools can be the center of community and communities can be learning communities.
Proposition BB is essential to our success. The School District originally proposed keeping the existing Cahuenga School and adding another school of 1600 students. The School District is now looking at adding two new schools of 800 students each. We realize that the funds to carry out this project are limited and some middle ground will have to be worked out between what we want and what is realistically possible.
