|
|
A5. |
Free parking is located in the back of the building. Buses usually drop and pick up students in the front of the KCCLA building on Wilshire or the side of the building on Dunsmuir. Students enter from the back. Buses can also enter the parking lot in the back, but sometimes the lot is filled, so it is difficult to maneuver the bus. Buses usually park at the LA Tarpits (George Page Museum Park, LACMA), which is about 5 blocks (less than half a mile) west of KCCLA on the corner of Wilshire and Curson. There is free bus parking.

|
Q6. |
Does KCCLA provide a lunch venue?

KCCLA DOES NOT provide a lunch venue for field trips. It is recommended that teachers take their students to the LA Tarpits/George Page Museum park area near the Los Angeles County of Modern Art; there is a lot of space, sunshine, and other schools. The park is 5 blocks west of KCCLA on the corner of Curson and Wilshire, less than a quarter of a mile on the right side. Bus parking is free on Curson and 6th Street (on block north parallel to Wilshire) |
|
|
|
Q7. |
Does KCCLA provide a free bus? |
|
|
A7. |
KCCLA covers the cost for ONE BUS PER SCHOOL. When a Teacher (or Coordinator) calls or emails me to schedule a field trip, I will email or fax you a Bus Transportation Form after the filed trip has been scheduled. The Teacher then fills out the form and sends it back to me (fax or email), I sign the form which authorizes KCCLA to pay for the bus and send it back to the Teacher. The Teacher schedules the bus through LAUSD (or any other bus transportation service your school uses, we will accommodate the cost of any bus service in Southern California) by sending the bus form to your bus transportation service. The bill is sent to KCCLA 4 – 6 weeks later. KCCLA does not schedule buses, we just cover the cost. |
