Let's hope that Ms. Martinez votes no to the Feb 14th vote on whether to cut adult education in LAUSD. I'm a former engineer currently retraining, learning Photovoltaic Systems at West Valley Occupational. If LAUSD Adult Education is cut, I won't be able to continue my studies. I don't see the logic in cutting adult ed. since it will have a direct impact the rate of unemployment here due to the fact that an opportunity for retraining in order to get back into the workforce will be taken away.
Ms Martinez seems to value reading with children from a very young age-both the educational benefits and the parent/child bonding-but she is comfortable voting to virtually disable LAUSD school libraries by eliminating certificated teacher librarians and trained library aides. In these poor economic times, the poorest residents need access to the books in school libraries. Surely some funds [Microsoft settlement, for example] can be used to keep all school libraries open with qualified staff.
