Village Academy goes Presidential

If you didn't hear, President O'Bama (going with the Irish theme) incorporated the Village Academy video "Is Anyone Listening" in his recent speech before the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Check out the DB article and Pomona Unified website for more details.

Other PUSD news: K-12 education is being reshaped in Pomona. The yesteryear formula of elementary, middle school, and then high school will now be competing with multiple PUSD schools offering K-8 education and two middle schools converting to 7-12 academies. Gee, a public school generation that will miss those warm and fuzzy middle (junior high) school years, how unfair is that.


A message from the PUSD website:
