Finally! Cupcakes in San Pedro! And now there will be macaroons too!

In what appeared as a miraculous buy-in package to build a school at Angel’s Gate, Los Angeles school officials this week turned criticisms into advantages for residents to continue the progress toward building an 800-seat campus at the site.
Linda del Cueto, the superintendent for region district 8 which includes all of San Pedro and areas stretching up north to Watts, promised a list of benefits that might encourage even critics to turn their heads around and consider the site. She added the school likely will be for 9th and 10th graders only.
The final decision making, however, is left for Los Angeles Unified Superintendent Richard Brewer, Jr.
The proposed promises included:
Every student attending the school must live in San Pedro
A magnet school will not be built at the site
The proposed school would not be a satellite to San Pedro High, but exist as its own entity and run as its own school.
