As both a parent of 2 school age kids in Hermosa Beach and a Realtor who understands that schools greatly impact home values in our community, I attended the most recent school board meeting in which the topic of discussion was how our small school system could not last long in this current environment of cutbacks. One of the big complaints by the many parents that attended the meeting was that there hadn't been a good resource to better understand what was going on. As many parents were there because we simply didn't know what the problem was, let alone any possible solutions.
As a response, one of the attendees immediately went home and created a website. Visit http://www.savehermosaschools.org/ to get a handle on the problem, the various solutions, and hopefully an ongoing discussion of how the community can help.
Commissions for Education is a way for local Realtors to help try to bridge the gap. As members we have committed to giving a portion of each commission to the education foundation of the city in which the home is located. As members of Commissions for Education we realize the importance of strong schools.
