City, School District Focus on (Virtually) All Things Bullis Tuesday Night
The city of Los Altos and the Los Altos School District started out each with a long list of items to discuss at a joint meeting, but ended up with a tightly focused agenda discussing several aspects of Bullis Charter School, and the need for a campus.
The Los Altos City Council and the Los Altos School District normally leave matters of joint interest to a twice-yearly committee meeting.
But 2012 has proved to be an unusual year, ever since the Sixth District state Court of Appeal upheld the Bullis Charter School's lawsuit saying that the school was not being provided facilities in accordance with state law. When the district's appeal to the state Supreme Court was denied, things changed quickly.
