UPDATE ON L.A. ECO-VILLAGE STRUGGLES WITH L.A. UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

On April 22, 2008, the LAUSD Board voted to build a new elementary
school for 800 kids on the east end of the Virgil middle School playing
field, also known as Site #11.

We are grateful to all of you who wrote and showed up for this struggle.
We are saddened that LAUSD is proceeding with what may be an
unnecessary school.  We are saddened that the Virgil Middle School
community will be disrupted by this construction.

We are pleased that a contaminated site north of Virgil Middle School
will be remediated by the District, and that a dead industrial zone will
be enlivened by the expansion of the Virgil Middle School playing field
into that area.

We are very pleased that no housing will be taken for this expansion.
We are saddened that the District plans to use the former White House
Place Primary Center in LAEV as a parking lot for 137 cars. We are
proposing an alternative for such a parking lot.  See the concept
proposal here: http://www.laecovillage.org/conceptproposallausdcra.html

Again, thank you all for your support in this struggle.
