Have your Cake and Eat it Too.. Plan B

Paww there is a way....

Grand Terrace can still be a host to a high school that carries the name of the city.

Why don't some of the activists get the action together to establish a place for a small uniquely Grand Terrace High School: Charter School of Excellence.

The Grand Terrace High School: Could be a state funded Charter School Site. Even if there were only one class room an existing Charter Holder may be interested in a satellite school named Grand Terrace High School here in Grand Terrace.

We have a school of the Arts where the students could attend daily activity in the arts... and perhaps where direct supervision of online courses is provided for those students with working parents. Students should be of those who can qualify for a work permit and the school should provide an entrepreneurial training program or a study to work internship in a collaborative effort with local businesses.

The school would be the only one in the IE that has a Ballroom Dancing Team... and a Community Wide Band Program for all ages.

Oh and for Physical Education, the students can walk the streets of Grand Terrace and pick up trash... for 2 hours a week.

It would be a poke back at the eye of the CJUSD if the Grand Terrace High School (Charter School) could field a winning Dance Team, or ????? Some specialty that the Ray Abril High School is not designed to provide.
