Speaker

Dr. Barbara Wilson, Superintendent of City Schools

 

Barbara informed us that Pittsburg High School has a women's wrestling team and they are very good.

 

There is a partnership between the City of Pittsburg and LMC to build housing for teachers.  The City just approved a grant for the housing.  Half of the units will be for new teachers and the other half for older teachers.

 

Every single school will be shifting districts and classes will be smaller because of the new schools being built.  Central will be shut down..  Pittsburg High School will be demolished on School St. And the new campus entrance will be on Harbor.

 

There was a very interesting and informative question and answer session which most of the Rotary members participated in.

 

 The Greeter next week is Barbara.

 

Lunch

Steak with mushroom gravy or Chicken Salad and cake.

 

See you all next week
