Public schools are open to all comers...that's central to it. You have a right to be angry but your beef should be with the (former) Emeryville City Council majority and the Emery School District for not being transparent about this and for not delivering family friendly housing over the last decades. <br />Remember, public schools are not private schools, nor should they be.

However,<br />why should tiny Emeryville set itself up to provide education to outsiders?<br />It's only about money, and it is disgusting; especially since it comes on the backs of Emeryville Property Taxpayers. OUSD has a responsibility, too. Brian, you are on the wrong side of this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-65332518482556583612014-12-09T23:00:22.953-08:002014-12-09T23:00:22.953-08:00There's really no other way.

The City Council, by their lack of planning, assured the ECCL would be primarily for Oakland residents. Personally, I think Oakland kids are just as good as Emeryville kids, but there should have been truth telling about this from the School District and City Hall as you have noted.Brian Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12705682112476904502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-83119484864847179292014-12-09T20:06:29.229-08:002014-12-09T20:06:29.229-08:00Nice to know and see that the School administratio...Nice to know and see that the School administration is finally admitting that the Emeryville School District is not primarily Emeryville residents. When will taxpayers get pissed that we are paying to build and run a nice new school for Oakland residents? I know I'm kind of pissed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
