Transfer of School to Another District Weighed
The proposed transfer of the El Porto neighborhood from one school district to another could be completed by the end of the year, officials said Thursday, following back-to-back public hearings the previous night in each of the districts involved.
The hearings, conducted by the Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization, produced no signs of opposition to the proposed transfer, which would remove the neighborhood from the El Segundo Unified School District and place it with the Manhattan Beach Unified School District.
Property owners in El Porto, once an unincorporated community annexed years ago to the city of Manhattan Beach, would not have to pay for a school bond measure that El Segundo district voters will decide next month. But they would be required to chip in for a Manhattan Beach school bond issue authorized by that district’s voters in 1995.
