Pleasanton board trustees will decide the fate of a popular PUSD Early Education Center this Thursday which also would cut support for teen moms.
Out of nowhere, axing Horizon Early Education Child Care is on Thursday s agenda for the 5 trustees. The board made up of Joan Laursen, Mark Miller, Steve Maher, Mary Jo Carreon, and Kelly Mokashi are asked to take away a popular child care option in downtown Pleasanton due to lack of funds . However, this is quite deceiving as Horizon has 17 families on the waitlist to get in and yet due to covid-19 restrictions, daycares are forced to limit their teacher-student radios. Just as these daycare teacher-student radios are set to loosen the board is asked to make a hasty vote to close this program before it has the chance to show it can be fully self funding.

For every student who attends, stays with or returns to PUSD, the district receives state funding, and for students within the greater Tri-Valley area that feel (Virtual Academy) is the right fit for them, if they were to attend our school district, we would get the revenue for them attending our school district as well, Sheikholeslami said. It can play an important role in retention, he added. It can play an important role in bringing some students back who have left, and it could play a role for students in our local area who would find this as a good education model for them, and then that would be a net add of students
