Fact: Why Was I Bused?

"1971 High School Integration”

According to Jane Edwards, "the city of East Palo Alto's population was 25,000.00. Located four-five miles from Palo Alto High School, which is adjacent Stanford University. Palo Alto high is within the Palo Alto High School District. Although Ravenswood was closer to Palo Alto than Sequoia it was within the Sequoia school district. Where its closest district neighbor was located 10-15 miles away in the cities of Belmont, Redwood City, San Carlos, and Woodside.
In 1976 the school board decided
to close two schools to ease its financial burden. The board sited Ravenswood High school’s depleted enrollment, the negative image of East Palo Alto, cost savings and a district wide desegregation. Ravenswood was the first school to close. San Carlos High School was also closed. Teens of East Palo Alto would become victims of one-way busing" (http://ravenswood.sequoiaalumni.net/about_rhs.htm).
