LAUSD/Home Depot Problems Reported by Sunland-Tujunga/No Home Depot Community

Thanks to Joe B and the "No 2 Home Depot" (Sunland-Tujunga) community for this CITIZEN'S ALERT!!!

Hey Zuma,

We have a situation here that we feel needs to be looked into. The LAUSD has issued permits to Home Depot allowing them to use Mt. Gleason Middle School for an Open House, for the purpose of promoting their store to Sunland-Tujunga. This Open House is not sanctioned by the City, not being facilitated by the City, and the brochure does not indicate that City Staff will be present. LAUSD rules, up until today, stated school facilities are only available for "community groups and non-profits".

When the community rec'd the mailer, last week, inviting everyone to an Open House by Home Depot at Mt. Gleason, our ears perked up. There are LAUSD guidelines for usage of school facilities. We looked at the Permit and Procedures and found that HD was in violation.
Here are 2 links: LAUSD site and application on line. (you see the strike thru text, I've explained below).
