Report Backs Schedule Change at High School
Dampening the hopes of parents and students fighting to keep North Hollywood High School from going to a year-round schedule, interim Los Angeles schools Supt. Ramon Cortines said Wednesday that overcrowding in the area is worse than suspected.
He also said that schools in other parts of the city “must have first priority” over expanding the North Hollywood campus.
The news disappointed parents, who on Tuesday presented Cortines with an alternative plan to a year-round calendar.
“It certainly sounds like he’s preparing us for an unpleasant decision,” said Marilyn Morrison, whose 10th-grade daughter attends the school’s highly gifted magnet program.
Cortines is to make his decision Friday.
