REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY FROM THE VAN DE KAMPS COALITION


A CALL FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO RAISE YOUR VOICES AND DEMONSTRATE AGAINST LACCD ON MONDAY

The Los Angeles Community College District’s (“LACCD”) decision not to open the promised satellite campus at the historic Van de Kamps site, and instead lease it out to a charter school and as commercial space is BOND FRAUD.

Politics, both internal and external are poised to take away a promised college campus from our community. OUR tax dollars are not being used the way that we were promised.

Come and join The Van de Kamps Coalition at the historic Van De Kamps site and demonstrate.

MONDAY, AUGUST 31 AT 7AM.
2930 FLETCHER DRIVE
WE WANT OUR COLLEGE BACK THAT THEY STOLE.

Through Public Record Request, We Have Discovered The Following:

LACCD’s Claim Of Budget Deficit As Reason For Leasing Van de Kamps Space Is Undermined By E-mails Showing LACCD Management and City Officials Discussing Lease Of Van de Kamps Campus LONG BEFORE The State Budget Crisis.

E-mail Shows LACCD Administrators Considering a Strategy Entitled “Stonewall Approach” As A Response To The Community’s Efforts To Learn The Facts About The LACCD’s Conversion Of The Community College Campus Built With Public Bond Funds To Something Else.

E-mails And Other Documents Show Secret Decision of Los Angeles Community College District (“LACCD”) To Convert Van de Kamps Satellite Campus to “Commercial Building” Space To Benefit City of Los Angeles Community Development Department Programs Administered By Mayor Villaraigosa and A Private Charter High School Favored By The Mayor.

Don't Allow the LACCD To Stonewall Our Communities Anymore. Join Our Protest.

YOU CAN’T STONEWALL THE COMMUNITY!
