         My community partner was established by a professor here at Notre Dame de Namur, Dr. Ferrera. He is not a leader of any kind of governmental units. The governmental unit that my community partner responds to is the San Bruno Park School District. The tutorial program was established as an effort to prevent the closure of Bel Air Elementary, which was proposed by the School District.The decisions made and actions taken by the School Board have immediate effects on the schools that it governs, like Bel Air. My Community partner is responding to the potential outcomes that Bel Air is facing by offering assistance in preventing the school's closure. Therefore, there is more of a secondary interface between my community partner and the School District, as opposed to the direct interface that Bel Air itself has with the School District.
