The local government that has the most influence over my community partner is the San Bruno Park School District. Currently, the school district is reassessing its finances and budgets. As a result, schools within the district with low student achievement rates, like Bel Air, are facing possible closure. School Board trustees are looking at the benefits of consolidating schools. Many disagree with this because jobs will be lost and students will be uprooted from their already familiar learning environment.
My community partner was established in response to the possible closure of Bel Air Elementary, so they are clearly do not agree or support what the School District is proposing. Closing down even just one school would have a ripple of effects that I am sure many are not prepared to address.
