Calif. district weighs K 8 plan for San Juan students
A public hearing July 21 at Newhart Middle School will probe adding three grade levels to San Juan Elementary, with a decision due August 18. Opponents fear prolonged segregation as San Juan is 98 percent Hispanic while Ambuehl is 16 percent. District officials cite mobility to Marco Forster and potential cross cultural programs as alternatives, noting traffic impacts and possible dual immersion if the plan proceeds.
