On Thursday, October 26, 2006, the new San Leandro Adult School at 1448 Williams Street officially opened. The school consists of two buildings just west of John Muir Middle School. Chabot College and the Head Start program are partners with the San Leandro Unified School District in the construction and use of the new facility. There is already a waiting list for some classes, perhaps because free childcare is offered. Free preschool is also offered for low-income students in English as a second language (ESL) or high school diploma classes.
I was honored to meet Principal Susanne Wong and tour the new facility. It's important to note that funding for the adult school is separate from funding for the elementary, middle, and high schools.
