JaNeal Rodriguez teared up during the Liberty Community Learning Center and Clinic’s opening celebrations Thursday evening.
In the past two years, the Liberty Elementary principal guided the school through a name change and a move, leading up to Thursday’s opening of the Salt Lake City School District’s third community learning center there.
“The neighborhood and city now have another space that can provide all the pieces needed to support families,” Rodriguez said. “We built this school and center to last another 50-plus years, and that longevity makes this whole process worthwhile.”
Dozens of students, teachers, parents and district administrators joined Rodriguez for the ribbon-cutting.
