Parents, gusd stakeholders invited to meeting  
On Sept. 7 at 9:30 a.m., a group of Sagebrush residents known as UniteLCF will present a petition to the Los Angeles
County Committee on School District Organization that proposes to transfer students who live in the Sagebrush neighborhood from the Glendale USD to the La Cañada USD.

The County Committee will hear public comments on the UniteLCF proposal at this meeting. Families and community members are invited to attend to share their thoughts with the
L.A. County Committee.

GUSD and LCUSD have discussed various options for the Sagebrush neighborhood of La Cañada Flintridge over the past three years; however, they have not been able to reach a mutually beneficial solution.

Stakeholders who care about the future of GUSD schools and students are asked to attend this important meeting.

Preserve Tour
The community is invited on Sunday, Sept. 4 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. for another in a series of guided tours at the Rosemont Preserve. Join wildlife photographer and expert tracker Johanna Turner for a tour through the Preserve. Turner helps the National Park Service track and document mountain lions in the Verdugo Mountains.

Learn what to look for when taking a stroll in the wild and the differences between animal tracks. Last tour Turner found tracks of three different bears.

The Preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain link fence. As street parking is limited, park at Two Strike Park, 5107 Rosemont Ave. in La Crescenta. Please bring water, a hat and wear sturdy shoes to walk the trail.

This event is free to the public and suitable for all ages, RSVP is required for this event. Rain cancels event. Sorry, no pets please.
