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.
