By Mauricio Vela, Bernal Heights Resident, Mar 18, 2008
On Feb. 7, after 3-and-half years of fighting the eviction of the Bernal Preschool from the Bernal Library, the Save the Bernal Preschool Committee took a devastating $425,000 blow from the Mayor as part of mid-year budget cuts. The $425,000 was part of the $500,000 raised during last year’s city budget cycle where Supervisor Ammiano successfully convinced fellow board members to support some of the most vulnerable children and families in District 9. The money was budgeted to complete a feasibility study and begin the rebuild of a new Bernal Preschool/Learning Center in the Bernal community hub.
