  From 2004 to 2018, $94 million in bonds was authorized and issued, costing taxpayers tens of millions. This is part one of two on Bassett. By Brian Hews and Jonesy Smith Bassett Unified School District (Bassett) was established in 1898. The district serves the communities of La Puente and Baldwin Park, encompassing around 8 square miles.  The area is absent of hills and valleys; residents call it “Pancakes” or the “Flatlands.”  The Eastside 13 did not Walkout in this neck of the woods and face 66 years in prison.  They marched for better conditions in schools and spearheaded a movement.  Just ask Moctesuma Esparza.      In the early 2000s, under Basset’s Board and Superintendent Robert Watanabe, someone placed a call to George Pla of Cordoba Corporation.  He delivers. At the time, Bassett served approximately 6,000 students at 4 elementary schools, one magnet school, one academy, one high school, one continuation high school, and an adult school.
