Sparse attendance at LAUSD's Angels Gate high meeting
There were only about 20 people who attended the district's initial meeting Monday evening at San Pedro High to hear about the district's plan to develop a high school on LAUSD-owned acreage at Angels Gate Park. The high school would be built on a 23-acre slice of 43 the district owns in the park. The city of Los Angeles ownes one third or the park.
District officials discussed the school plan Monday and responded to several questions from residents who live in the neighborhoods to the south and west about access to the site.
Roderick Hamilton, a regional development manager for LAUSD, said the district would pursue an agreement with the city to upgrade a road entering the northeastern area of the site from Gaffey Street, instead of using Alma Street on the rear.
