Citizens of the World Charter Comes to Silver Lake Sept. 5

The new charter school will place its second and third grades at the Micheltorena Elementary School campus.

 

The Micheltorena Elementary School campus begins its balancing act next Wednesay, when two grades of the Citizens of the World Charter school launch.

The second and third grades of the globally-focused charter school will be based in five classrooms at the Sunset Boulevard campus.

The impact of the new school's arrival has concerned parents and others at Micheltorena, which has been showing signficant improvement under principal Susan Furfari.

They worry that CWC will divert students--and resources--from what is trying to be a community school.

Meantime, CWC is struggling with a school split over two campuses: its kindergarten and first grades will be based at Grant Elementary in East Hollywood for the time being.

I bet CWC will be an excellent community school as well.

They are on a one year lease.

Yes, by all means... let's keep dismantling the resources of public education. Who cares about "those" kids...

Because your definition of "community" schools feature unelected boards and have exclusionary admission policies?

I recently heard that the scientist found the world had not warmed up in the last 15 years and theyRead More did not know what happened to their predictions.

The fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that: the right of the people to beRead More secure in their persons,houses,papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized "this fundamental right has a tense relationship with sobriety checkpoints, at a sobriety checkpoint, drivers are necessary stopped with out reasonable suspicion, and may be tested summarily and with out probable cause, Thus the constitution would prohibit people from being stopped without a search Warrant or at least without probable cause that they have committed a crime; however, the Warrant requirement only attaches should the search be unreasonable and the Supreme Court, as shown below, decided that such stops are not unreasonable under certain circumstances, The United States Supreme Court found properly conducted sobriety checkpoints to be Constitutional, While acknowledging that such checkpoints infringed on a Constitutional Right. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has found sobriety checkpoints to be constitutionally permissible, ten states (Idaho,Iowa,Michigan,Minnesota,Oregon,Rhode Island, Texas,Washington,Wisconsin, and Wyoming) have found that sobriety roadblocks violate their own State Constitutions or have outlawed tHEM.

Again, if you see a checkpoint you can still legally turn around or change directions to avoid it asRead More long as you are not already in it. Learn your rights. But don't drink and drive. Call Northeast LAPD to go to take the LAPD Community Based Police Academy course. It's free. Of course, Northeast doesn't let others know about it. You learn your rights a lot of other information they would rather not have you know. Call them and ask how to attend.

The fact that they are outlawed in some states AND what the constitution says , they areRead More UN-constitutional whether you can avoid them or not, same as checking your citizenship up to 100 miles north of Mexican border (as you simply drive down the road), no probable cause etc.

The 125th at Logan was great. Parents, students, former teachers, some alumni from the 1940's. ButRead More what is most essential to keep in mind is that Logan, a public school, has educated generations of Echo Park children, natives and immigrants, English-speaking and those learning English, respecting the diverse cultures of families that have made their homes in our community. It's a public school that serves all children, those with children with disabilities, those who have behavior issues, all children. It turns away no one. It does what public schools are supposed to do; it educates the public. And it welcomes parents to participate in decision-making bodies that can influence their child's education.
