Monday - Both the Los Altos School Board and the Bullis Charter School Board meet at 7 p.m. The Los Altos School Board meets at the district's board room at 201 Covington Road, and will be be deciding on non-traditional delivery options for geometry instruction and voting on the financial disclosures of the collective bargaining agreements with the Los Altos Teachers Association, and the California School Employees Association. The Bullis Charter School board meets at the school at 102 W. Portola Avenue, and will be discussing its multi-year budget and the superintendent/principal's update on the Bullis Booster Club's June 5 special forum. Its 2013-14 Memorandum of Understanding with the Santa Clara County Office of Education is on its consent item agenda.
Tuesday - If you love Rancho San Antonio, this 6:30 meeting at the Quinlan Center in Cupertino, is a must-go. It's intended for residents to give feedback about a flood basin being planned at the park. The plan is 60 percent designed, and this is the last meeting for input before the Santa Clara Valley Water District engineers present it to the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors for review and consideration for approval. The meeting is in the Quinlan Center social room, 10185 N. Stelling Road, Cupertino
Wednesday - We probably don't have to tell you that school's out for Los Altos School District and the Cupertino Union School District students. But if the refrain "I'm bored," threatens to send you scrambling in a panic, we have a few ideas:
1. Santa Clara County Library District’s 2013 Summer Reading Program. Research shows that students can lose up to three months of reading skills during summer break, the county librarian says. And research also shows the best ways to prevent loss of reading skills during summer break is to read. Library summer reading programs may help children and teens retain and enhance their reading skills during the summer and provide an opportunity to help adults model and promote early reading habits for youth. There are two programs for ages 0-12 and 13 to adult.
Oh, here's one more incentive: By signing up for the Summer Reading Program, and reading or listening to 5 books, teens and adults can enter a drawing to win a Nexus Google Tablet or an iPad mini.
All are invited to join by registering for Summer Reading online at www.sccl.org or in person at any one of the district libraries.
