LETTER: Work With Mountain View To Require More From Developers

Whether a site for the Los Altos School District or for Bullis Charter School the burgeoning area needs developers to help build a school.

 

Editor's Note: On March 29, Los Altos Patch asked community members to make suggestions about how to move forward off the locked horns between Bullis Charter School and Los Altos School District over facilities. We asked for "a paragraph or a treatise," in an attempt to get some ideas for making the 2013-14 school year work for all. Resident Dave Cortright sent the following on March 30, but Patch let it get too far down in the bulging inbox before acting. We now publish it, with apologies for the delay.

Los Altos School District (LASD) and Bullis Charter School (BCS) should be working closely with Mountain View City Council to require developers in the San Antonio redevelopment project to help secure and build out a new school in that area to aid with the increasing population there.

The site could either be used as an LASD school, or better yet, as the new home for BCS. As a part of this, BCS would agree to drop its old geographic preference in favor of one that give preference to students from the surrounding neighborhood.

This is ideal as it solves the 10th site, BCS site, and North-of-El-Camino-(Real) growth problems, all at once.
