HPHS Reconstitution? -_-

There had been rumors that Huntington Park High School was going to be reconstituted starting July 2011. Nobody knew what was going to happen, but on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, the school board was going to make their final decision about the reconstitution. So, on that same day...there was a walkout from Huntington Park High School! About 300 students walked out of school with 10 to 15 teachers and staff. Their goal was to walk all the way downtown, to have a talk with the superintendent. It took them about 3-4 hours to get there. When they finally arrived, the building was already surrounded by police cars and the superintendent wouldn't come down and talk to the students. They decided to let in 4 students so they could say their opinion on the subject. After all that walking and all the protesting, the school board still approved the reconstitution. ):

I think it isn't fair that they're making all teachers, administration, and staff re-apply for their jobs. They also said they would be hiring only 50% back. So that meant, not all teachers would be teaching at Huntington Park High School anymore. I do think that we need to improve our scores, but they don't need to reconstitute this school. I think it's going to impossible for them to do everything by July because if they want to make this major change, they need to plan ahead of time. I really do wish things would stay how they are right now, there is no need for a reconstitution!
