Council President Lightner, Councilmember Cate to Review Student Proposals to Repurpose Former Downtown Library

 

SAN DIEGO --- San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner announced that on Thursday, January 21, 2016, she, Councilmember Cate, and Board of Education President Michael McQuary will attend the Kearny High School Stanley Foster School of Architecture and Engineering Junior Gala, at which time the students will present their designs to repurpose the City’s former downtown library into a Veteran’s Center.

 

Every year, students focus on a design problem. This year, they have partnered with the City through the “Bridges to Education” program, in which the City supplies a real-world architecture or engineering project, and allows students full access to facilities and staff. City staff then mentor students and provide feedback on their design solutions.

 

“I have always been a supporter of civic engagement,” stated Council President Sherri Lightner. “The ‘Bridges to Education’ program allows students full access to actual city projects under the guidance of city staff. Having a mentorship relationship strengthens student learning and allows city staff to educate and foster the next generation of our workforce.”

 

WHAT:  Kearny High School, School of Engineering, Innovation, and Design (EID) Junior Gala

 

WHO:    Sherri S. Lightner, City of San Diego Council President, District 1 

Chris Cate, City of San Diego Councilmember, District 6

Dr. Michael McQuary, Ed D, San Diego Unified, Board President

 

WHEN:  Thursday, January 21, 2016 at 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.

 

WHERE:  Stanley E. Foster - School of Engineering, Innovation and Design, Kearny High Educational Complex, 1954 Komet Way, San Diego (92111)

MEDIA ADVISORY: TONIGHT -- Tonight: Investing In California’s Future Part II: What It Means For Our Students, Our Community And For San Diego’s Regional Economy Town Hall Meeting

MEDIA ADVISORY from the San Diego Unified School District, January 19, 2016


TONIGHT: INVESTING IN CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE PART II: WHAT IT MEANS FOR OUR STUDENTS, OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR SAN DIEGO'S REGIONAL ECONOMY TOWN HALL MEETING


WHAT: Town Hall Meeting on Investing in California's Future


WHEN: 6:30 p.m., tonight, January 19, 2016


WHERE: San Diego Central Library, Neil Morgan Auditorium, 330 Park Blvd., San Diego, CA 92101


DETAILS: Join the San Diego Unified School District, the San Diego Unified Council of Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and the United Way of San Diego for a countywide discussion with parents, community and business leaders on why supporting public schools matters for society and the economy.


Cindy Marten, San Diego Unified School District Superintendent, will provide welcoming remarks to highlight key district initiatives that hold promise in closing the opportunity gap with additional investments in the classroom.


This event is free and open to the public.


United Way of San Diego will moderate the panel discussion and questions and answers:

-- Andrea Guerrero, Executive Director, Alliance San Diego
-- Clare Crawford, President and Executive Director, Center for Policy Initiatives
-- Ed Hidalgo, Senior Director of Staffing, Qualcomm
-- Mark Cafferty, President and CEO, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp.
-- Celeste Bobryk-Ozaki, President, San Diego Unified Council of PTAs
-- Gregg Robinson, President, San Diego County Board of Education


BACKGROUND: California's economy increasingly relies on highly educated workers—and the K-12 public education system can lay the foundation for successful preparation before students enter the workforce or pursue a postsecondary education.


To meet future economic demand, the state needs to more robustly invest in the public education system. California
currently ranks 46th in the nation in per-pupil funding.


What will it take to move the state to a robust investment level to prepare students to continue to compete in the 21st century global economy, and solve the state's future challenges?


Spanish Interpreters available.
