Students return to LAUSD campuses today. Exciting!
Five new campuses opened in the district -- though none of them in the South Bay or Harbor Area.
New schools: Edward R. Roybal Learning Center (the school formerly known as Belmont Learning Complex with the $400 million-plus pricetag, which the district will be living down for years to come), just west of downtown LA; Helen Bernstein High School in Hollywood; Richard E. Byrd Middle School in Sun Valley; James Edward Jones Primary Center in South L.A.; and Roy Romer Middle School in North Hollywood.
The district is also getting more than a dozen new charters.
Three local charters were marking new beginnings. Magnolia Science Academy 3 - Gardena is opening today with 250 students in sixth and seventh grade. Thursday will be the first day of classes for Carson's New Millennium Secondary School, with almost 150 ninth graders. And Port of Los Angeles High School in San Pedro, which started classes yesterday, has its first senior class this year.
