Community College Board
Most of you out there probably are too busy to give a lot of thought to the Community College Board of San Francisco. I didn't even really know there was one until a few weeks ago, when I read an article about the construction of new sports facilities for City College, which the Community College Board had been planning on renting out to Lick-Wilmerding High School (a private school in the City) from 3-6PM on weekdays. It doesn't seem right that one private school should have exclusive rights to state-of-the-art athletic facilities, while the people that have paid taxes to support the project are locked out. It doesn't seem right to Julio Ramos, a current board member running for election, who I heard speak last night. He's fighting against that debacle, as well as fighting to keep fees for students low. So, instead of skipping the Community College Board section of your ballot, make sure you vote for Julio Ramos.
what nobody seems to think about or choose to ignore is that Lick is paying the city millions of dollars to rent the athletic facilities? how much do you think those facilities would be worth if they just let anybody use them? not much.
