Imagine being told that starting next year you will be required to share 33% of the space in your home as well as 33% of the access to all of your appliances, outlets, and utilities and the potential conflicts that will arise throughout your days as a result.  Such is the situation Hawkins High School finds itself in as Stella Charter has been offered the space it is seeking on our campus.

What is Co-Location?

• It is a process under CA state law (Prop 39) that
  allows a charter school to take over space in a
  public school.
• It forces public schools to compete with charter
  schools for space, resources, and students.
• It often causes division on the campus between
  the schools and even in the community.

Why does this matter?

1. Augustus F. Hawkins High School is a Community School with both a School for Advanced Studies and a Magnet that strives to meet the diverse needs of our students. Hawkins is also a priority and BSAP school, We DO NOT have extra space.
   
   
2. Students and families are in danger of losing up to 13 classrooms and of losing full access to: athletic field, garden, library, dance room, maker space, computer labs, multi-purpose room, School Psychologist private space, parking lot, cafeteria, gym, restrooms, counseling offices, storage rooms, teacher meeting and professional development, parent center, B&G staff, etc.
   
   
3. Potential increase in safety issues due to overpopulation and differences in two schools' practices and handling. Different schedules, different school visions. 

The school board passed a policy in 2024 to avoid co-location at campuses that are priority schools, or community schools or BSAP schools.  Hawkins High School needs your support to STOP CO-LOCATION.  Co-location will decrease the quality of student services caused by a loss of space.  Please sign today and share with others.  Help us STOP CO-LOCATION at HAWKINS HS.  Sign today!
