A Parent Welcome Center will provide assistance to mothers and fathers whose children are new to the district and for whom English is not their native language. When parents who do not speak English or are just learning it enroll students at district schools, the parents will be directed to the center for an initial assessment, said Raul Maldonado, director of biliteracy programs and assessment and evaluation director. ``The center also will provide parents with resources in the community,'' he explained. Also new to Pueblo will be an assessment and evaluation center to coordinate and implement state testing programs. The center will provide guidance to school staffers in the use of data to improve student achievement. The Antelope Valley This article is about the Los Angeles County region.

English tutoring and programs in English as a second language, which had previously been offered at regular schools, will also move to Pueblo, Maldonado said. ``We are trying to involve more parents,'' Maldonado said, by providing classes in parenting classes and in English as a second language. Remaining at Pueblo are a textbook warehouse, nurse's office, computer lab, biliteracy department and professional development programs for teachers. District officials did not want to sell the center, saying money from a sale would alter the district's hardship status and reduce state funding for building projects. ``It would count against our hardship status and hurt us,'' Rice said. ``It makes no sense to do that. We would have to take that same amount of money off from what we receive from the state for the construction of new schools. Besides, we need the building for other purposes. It's a growing district.'' Selling the building would not help the district fight off budget shortfalls, he said, because profits from a sale could only be used on school facilities, not on salaries or other operating expenses Operating expenses The amount paid for asset maintenance or the cost of doing business, excluding depreciation. Earnings are distributed after operating expenses are deducted. . The Pueblo Learning Center is the site of a former Payless store at 47th Street East and Avenue S.

District officials have said the total cost of the center was more than $3.8 million, including the $3.1 million purchase of the store, $320,000 in legal fees, the $250,000 payment for the vacant parcel, $137,000 in parking lot improvements and about $60,000 in construction change orders. That figures does not include nearly $3 million in interest payments on a 23-year loan for the site purchase. District officials originally planned to use the store for a Head Start preschool, but those plans were derailed when neighboring property owners filed a lawsuit against the project and a judge ruled that the environmental review process was faulty. The center also was cited as a reason behind an attempt to recall three board members three years ago. The attempt failed. Karen Maeshiro, (661) 267-5744 karen.maeshiro(at)dailynews.com |
