Summary
More than a dozen parents, students, and neighbors urged the council to intervene as the Hayward school district moves to close Faith Ringgold Elementary. Speakers cited state law AB 1912, lack of an equity impact analysis, no transportation plan, and special education students being sent across town. The city has no direct jurisdiction, but Mayor Salinas said the council is tracking the issue with the superintendent and school board.
