Your Voice Matters: Community Outreach & Support
One of the concerns that has come up in our parent engagement is the safety concerns of our surrounding community. Specific concerns about the park, metro, etc are under the jurisdiction and oversight of the city and not the school district. To help facilitate communication and reporting of concerns to the correct city officials, please take a look at the map below to know who to call and reach out to:
- District 6: Suely Saro (562) 570-6816
- District 7: Roberto Uranga (562) 570-7777
Another resource is the Long Beach Multi-service Center.
They can be reached at: 562-225-6424 or 562-570-4672.
