Leagues Proposed for City Schools

Sylmar High would join a league made up of Kennedy, Monroe, Reseda, Van Nuys and San Fernando under a City Section releaguing proposal that would take effect in the 1999-2000 school year.

A town hall meeting will take place Nov. 17 at the Los Angeles Unified School District Board room to discuss the proposal. A final draft will be voted on by the Interscholastic Athletic Committee on Dec. 7.

Another league proposal groups Birmingham, Chatsworth, Cleveland, El Camino Real, Granada Hills and Taft. The other Valley league would be made up of Canoga Park, Grant, Hollywood, North Hollywood, Poly and Verdugo Hills.

The leagues would be for all sports, boys and girls.
