Emery To Spend $1.5 Million On Rental
Breaking NewsIt has been reported that Emery Unified School District will lease recently closed Santa Fe Elementary School from the Oakland School District for three years. Presumably, the Emery High School students will occupy the building during the tear down and re-build of Emeryville's school beginning this fall as the contraversial Center of Community Life breaks ground. It is further presumed the funds for the rental will come from Measure J disbursements and that Emery's closed down Ralph Hawley Middle School will remain closed during the transition. Emery School District officials could not be reached for comment.
Emery Unified School District will pay Oakland Unified $500,000 per year for three years for the use of the facility.
The Tattler will report further on this story in the coming hours.
Below is a story re-posted from the Contra Costa Times that reports the rental agreement:

An elementary school?
ReplyDeleteShould be fun to watch high school students you elementary sized facilities.
And why would the district lease an Oakland facility when they have the Hawley site?
Tony Smith/BayCES/NEP cronyism?
I also feel sorry for the maintenance and technology staff, they are going to be working a lot of overtime to get the site ready, they should have had a full year to prepare.
Why do parents have to learn about the fate of their school district from the Tattler? As a parent of a highschooler, this is the first I heard of this. I thought I heard the school board state that the teacher layoffs were due to monies not being earned through the rental of the old middle school. Now, Emerville's middle school and high school will be vacant, many good teachers fired, and 1.5 million will be wasted to house our highschooler's for three years at an Oakland Elementary school. Ha Ha, is this an April Fool's Joke?
