CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT
(City Manager Tom Bakaly and
Hermosa Beach City School District Superintendent Pat Escalante)
City Manager Bakaly presented an overview of the proposal for a Youth
Enrichment Program to address the need for before- and after-school
programs for Hermosa Beach students, with a City/School District
cooperative agreement for shared resources.
Superintendent Escalante provided additional information on the proposal.
Comments/suggestions from members of the City Council, School Board
and staff included:
o Although it costs more, as much of an enrichment component to the
program as feasible is desired.
o The program will be successful only if spread out over both mornings
and afternoons.
o Outreach to parents is necessary, as demand is unknown at this
time.
