Pictures of Parents Protesting Presence of Celerity Charter Inspecting Wadsworth Elementary


Los Angeles Times:  April 7, 2008

Turf face-off may be in store for L.A. schools

South Los Angeles school Wadsworth Elementary is mentioned in the article:

Wadsworth Elementary teacher Robin Potash was dismayed when she heard about plans to provide a set of bathrooms for the exclusive use of three classes of charter students at her South Los Angeles campus. More than 1,000 students in the regular school must get by with only one set of bathrooms, she said.

There is another set of bathrooms, she added, but they're usually kept locked until the regular bathrooms flood, which happens periodically.

"It will set up a situation of haves and have-nots," Potash said. "They will probably look like they have new things and more things and more money. . . . There are many times when we don't have enough chairs and desks."
