San Marino schools vs. Pico Rivera schools
While driving through San Marino last weekend, I passed a beautiful, remodeled high school. Then, I saw a sign that marked the donations -- which is in the hundreds of thousands -- to the school district. "Public education is not free," the sign read.
I normally don't meander through San Marino. My routes usually take me through West Covina, Covina and Baldwin Park. I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I guessing that there is a significant disparity among the donation efforts in San Marino versus Baldwin Park or Pico Rivera.
Airan Scruby reported today that four Pico Rivera schools are slated for closure. I am sure that San Marino schools are facing their sets of hardships, but I wonder: Have any schools closed in San Marino?

Jennifer,
Thanks you for touching on the educational disparities in the SGV. While public education is free, it clearly isnt equal.
