AB2011 Sites Inventory As discussed above, tracts in Santa Ana mainly scored in the lowest quartile (scores below 0.25), but there are a few exceptions in the northwestern corner of the city, where tracts received higher economic opportunity scores, only scored slightly better. In the City's General Plan there are policies in place to address educational inequities, including partnerships between the city and educational institutions to improve resources for marginalized groups. There are efforts to integrate technology into schools to close the digital divide and ensure that students have access to necessary learning tools that would increase the education scores over time. Exempt Sites The exempt sites designated by the City are primarily located along the west and east sides of 17th Street and Tustin Avenue to the east. These areas are generally outside of the City's Focus Areas and not targeted for redevelopment under the General Plan. Again, the entire City having lower educations scores shows the investment needed in education for all residents in the City Conclusion With the Alternative sites primarily situated in the central and northern parts of the City, zoning and land use plans encourage multi -family development that could lead to improved conditions for all residents. The City aims to increase its education opportunity scores through a range of strategies focused on equity, infrastructure improvements, and support for students at all levels and have goals and policies in the General Plan to help accomplish this. One important note is infrastructure improvements that are being targeted in the Downtown and the South Coast Metro Area. By improving access to technology, particularly for students in underserved areas with infrastructure improvements such as high-speed internet, the City can help ensure that all students can engage in learning, both in school and at home. As stated in the General Plan, the City is striving to create more equitable educational opportunities for all residents.
