A blast from the past circa 2012. We lead with a ‘video’ of former trustee Doug Smith presenting a ‘tentative long-term agreement’ with BCS. The charter would have received one of the elementary campuses – ‘closing a neighborhood school.’ The idea was not well received by LASD parents.

This shot in the video of the audience in 2012 looks oh so much the same as the recent brouhaha over the ‘Move Egan to 10th site’ proposal.

This 17 flicks video library also includes footage of the Facilities Master Plan Committee and other similar meetings of citizen task forces.
