GIVING IT UP Councilmembers will also consider allowing the Santa Monica Parent Teacher Student Association to hold its annual college fair at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium for free.
The October event — currently held at the Santa Monica High School gymnasium — allows students and parents to meet with representatives from more than 150 colleges and trade schools.
The call for a new location comes after years of growing pains, as the event’s growth forced students to wait in long lines outside the high school gym.
If approved, an estimated $8,800 of rental and parking fees would be waived.
