Academia Semillas Del Pueblo Wins Important Victory

We are very excited to inform you that Academia Semillas Del Pueblo’s charter has been renewed for another 5 years!

On Thursday, March 29, 2007 over 1,000 parents, students, educators, community members and supporters walked from Plaza Olvera to LAUSD headquarters to attend the history-making board meeting for Academia Semillas del Pueblo. If you didn’t have an opportunity to watch the LAUSD Board meeting, you can watch it this Sunday on KLCS, Channel 58. Academia’s charter renewal will be shown between the hours of 2-4:30pm.

Thank you to everyone who called the board members, sent support letters, signed our pledge for educational equity, informed others about our school, joined us in our various marches and board meetings, and showed your support in many other ways. You helped save our school, now help us grow! Save the date, June 7th for our fundraiser/celebration.
