Lower enrollment at an Azusa high school is spurring a domino effect, and the impending changes are hitting the community hard.
California will not require parents to tell schools if they keep guns in the house. A bill on the proposed requirement failed its first committee vote Wednesday after facing opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union and National Rifle Association, two groups that rarely align on gun rights issues.
Gladstone High School is becoming Gladstone Middle School, taking in students from three middle schools slated for closure: Center School, Slauson Middle School and Foothill Middle School.Azusa Unified School District Superintendent Arturo Ortega blames the rapid reduction of enrollment over the last several years on a declining birthrate in the state, and skyrocketing housing prices driving more and more people out of the state.
"The state is in a decline of enrollment, the state of California, particularly here in the valley," Ortega said."When we look at the programs that we're able to offer our students, and the facilities that we're able to offer our students, coupled with declining enrollment, this was a move to make sure that we're offering top notch programs, and top notch facilities for our students," Ortega said.
