Converting The Valley's Blazing Sun into Energy at LAUSD

15 Valley Schools Get Solar-Paneled Carports

Posted by Paul Zollo, June 25, 2012 at 03:14 pm

In an effort to harness the ample and intense solar power available year long in the Valley to power our schools, the LAUSD, as reported recently, is installing some 15 carports at Valley schools which are equipped with solar panels.

As school districts around the Southland look to lessening their electricity bills, the installation of solar-paneled carports makes more sense.

The LAUSD, as reported in today's Daily News, launched a solar-power initiative in 2009, with the goal of installing 60 solar projects districtwide, including 26 in the Valley.

Dear Hollietiger, CHAMPSFEST2013 was an awesome experience for my child. She was there all day and…Read More had the best time. When I dropped her off I saw a slew of security personnel checking bags and wanding. She told me security was there immediately and a medic on hand. Her friend is fine and is going to school Monday morning. The hammer was from a vendor. The kid could have grabbed one of the stakes from a tent or a chair. Things happen, but I trust that the school and the administrators did the right thing. It's very counter productive and irresponsible to write things when you don't know the facts. I will support and trust CHAMPS and my daughter is already looking forward to next years CHAMPSFEST.

First of all, I don't know where your child got his information but he is quite uninformed. He…Read More obviously was believing all the rumors spreading at then end of the event. The victim's skull WAS NOT "cracked open and ... bleeding everywhere." CHAMPSFEST 2013 was a public event, therefore open to the PUBLIC. CHAMPS (the school) has no control of mental competency of attendants from other schools. Security was there in droves to protect the entire venue. As far as nothing being reported that is also FALSE. The kid was NOT taken away in handcuffs. Police were there and it is confidential information that was not released to the general population and is not a matter of public record. Second of all, the resources provided by the city were there as a backup (you mentioned "2 ambulances, police fire trucks... Not really sure what police fire trucks are but that's besides the point). We wanted to make sure that in this case of emergency all bases were covered and the safety of the victim was going to be treated properly. Next time you hear about an incident, I would consider the reputation of the people who worked so hard to put on the event and let them handle the situation before posting incorrect information to the entire community.
