“For years our schools, being in poor communities, have not had sufficient resources to develop high quality education,” Efe said Teresa James, Deputy Mayor Bell and treasurer of the Coalition of the Southeast Cities Schools (SCSC) .

The SCSC, composed of Bell, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Lynwood, Maywood, South Gate and Vernon, started four years ago in response to common problems like school overcrowding, lack of credentialed teachers and poor community involvement.

“To counter these weaknesses, we come together to create a unified work SCSC allowing the best solution of common problems in our schools” he said.

So, the academic programs of different subjects that has achieved success in today”s schools, “will be implemented in these new schools building on the successful results”

Another initiative recently approved by the SCSC seeks work with preschool institutions and funds looking for places to establish new centers for the community.

Guided by studies showing that children who attend preschool do better academically future, the coalition will seek to increase the coverage, which currently stands at nearly 10,000 children-to bring the total to about 25,000 small to need this preparation.

The project will benefit not only children by providing early education, but parents who work, allowing them to “their children are in child care and preschool with a curriculum and not just in particular places where merely” caretakers ” but do not have adequate strategies for education, “noted Deputy Mayor Bell.

” We are very strong: we have to harness that power through our actions in our community to ensure a future better for young people because they are our future, “said Ana Maria Rizo, mayor of Maywood and alternate member of SCSC.
