The <br />subcommittee identified the first Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. as their standing <br />meeting time. Trustee Torres and Councilmember Lopez were selected as Chair and <br />Vice-Chair, respectively, during the August 1, 2022 meeting. As a result of local <br />elections taking place in November 2022, Councilmember Vazquez and Trustee Bustos <br />were identified as new members and joined the subcommittee in April 2023. <br />Subcommittee topics of discussion have ranged from access/use of school facilities by <br />neighborhood associations, the reinstitution of the Camp Catalina program operated by <br />PRCSA, the City and SAUSD’s approach to crossing guard cost-sharing, SAUSD <br />students experiencing homelessness, and cultural events.
