The youth, along with parents, met with Los Angeles Unified School District board president Monica Garcia, to address important issues affecting education in South LA high schools including concerns about campus safety and college preparation. Yesterday\u2019s forum, called \u201cThe Uncensored Truth,\u201d revealed that only 27% of South LA students feel safe at school. The peer-to-peer survey also noted that more than half of student respondents felt that their school wasn&#8217;t doing enough to prepare them for college. These findings correlate with a LAUSD internal audit that found that the district was failing to implement its college preparatory A through G standards. Ever since Garcia became board president less than two years ago, she has acknowledged the shortcomings of the nation\u2019s second largest school district. Yesterday\u2019s forum gave her and all others on hand, the opportunity to hear from students themselves. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccsapt.org\">www.ccsapt.org<\/a>, or call 323-750-9087 and ask for Josh. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUESTS: Joshua Bush, Interim Director of South Central Youth Empowered Thru Action (part of the Community Coalition, Diana Escobar and Joseph Walker from Manual Arts High School Yesterday, students from the group, &#8220;South Central Youth Empowered Thru Action&#8221; presented to the head of LA&#8217;s School board the results of a peer [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-program"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2618"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2618\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
