This article it's very interesting, basically it's talking about children's health because Los Angeles aboard of Education restricted told the district that they are going to build more schools near freeways. A lot of individuals are fighting for that because they are worry about the children's health and as well there's a lot of air pollution around the freeways. The this lady name Yolie Flores Aguilar took on the issue after The Times reported that the district continued to build schools close to the freeways, and then the state law discouraging it and recent studies indicating that the children's are living near the freeways or going to school near the freeways and it shows signs of increased of harmless. Indeed about 60,000 Los Angeles Unified School District students campuses within 500 feet of a freeway. After that lady produce a month to produce a list of all those schools that where children's are at the highest risk of air pollution and then she trying to to come up with a plan reduce that issue. The the officials states that the district expects to lose $460 million next year. As well the District officials states that it will cost practically nothing to extend the distance of the air pollution. But the resolution does not require work and to be done, Yolie states that there may be grants available.

I like what this blog is about because it relates to the people in our neighborhood. My personal belief on this particular item is that they should not place schools so close to freeways because I belive that it can and will affect students in the long run.
this article is interesting to read. sure it will be nice to build more schools for the children because they need the education but i think the location will be the wrong place to located them. if you build schools near freeways it will make a lot of noise and distract kids from learning. and like the article said it will cause health problems because of the carbon dioxide of the vehicles. so yeah i think it will be nice to build schools because the kids are our future and they need the education.
I think that's important to reslove health benifits toward chridren it should be handled more often. Chrildren do need education but in a proper place also if schools are bulit nears construction and other bad surroundings chrildren will not improve in anyway.
