Quick Note
Agenda item on tonight's school board docket:
Resolution to allow St. HOPE to change the name of Sacramento Charter High School to Sacramento High School
To many concerned this is an incendiary issue -- the school district effectively killed Sacramento High School, and its 150 years of history by giving away the campus to St. HOPE. This move by St. HOPE is an obvious attempt to co-opt that history and tradition for their own profit. Additionally, part of the resolution in the Rogers et. al. vs SCUSD was a commitment from the district to place another high school in the former Sacramento High School attendance area, should there be enough interest in the community, by 2008. Many feel that if this plan comes to fruition, this new campus would be a better candidate to assume the mantle, the history, and the tradition of the former Sacramento High School.

Does anyone know the outcome of this ridiculous thought?
Jennings & Young tried to get it removed from the agenda so St Hope wouldn't get an outright rejection which is what happened. BTW, the staff recommended not to let St Hope take Charter out of their name.
Thanks Black 47
