Button issue. With passionate opinions on both sides. steve the proposed northgate unified School Distrcit would include a 5 schools serving forty two hundred students. vicki tonight Contra Costa County education officials got a chance to hear from the public about the plan. Kron 4s Charles Clifford is live for us tonight in concord with details. Charles. On tuesday evening, those in favor of the proposed Northgate Unified School District and those opposed to it made their cases here before the Contra Costa County board of education. Earlier this year a petition, with more than six thousand signatures, was submitted to the Contra Costa County board of education requesting that a new School District, the Northgate Unified School District, be carved from the existing mount diablo School District. Mount diablo is made up of 56 schools serving more than 32 thousands students. It covers a large portion of the east bay stretching from martinez to walnut creek. Pleasnant hill to clayton. The proposed northgate district would separate away the 4200 hundreds students at northgate high school, Foothill Middle School and three elementary schools. Supporters say that they are unhappy with the way mount diablo is run. Sotwe have stayed for 40 years and tried to make it better and its to big. Mt diablo does not address the needs of the communitythe mount diablo School District administration, including superintendent nellie meyers, strongly opposes the plan. Sot we believe our students will not be served as well if five schools leave. We believe we can provide more programs and more support for less funding. The proposal has generated passionate feelings on both sides. Some opponents of the plan have accused organizers of wanting to create an affluent new School District. Something that supporters of the plan flatly deny. Sotnone of that is true. This is not about segregation. We are following the boundaries set by the School District. Tuesdays meeting before the county was only a public hearing, the proposal has a long road to travel before coming a reality. If the county approves the plan, it would have to get the blessing of state education officials and then be approved by voters. Now to accommodate everyone who wants to speak on this issue, this public hearing will actually be continued tomorrow evening.
