Notes from the LASD Board meeting of Wednesday, December 12th.

Thanks to my neighbor Tanya for going and passing along the following:

1. The traffic analysis done by Tom Ho looked only at Los Altos residents. It completely ignored the impact of the 100+ kids coming from Mountain View to Covington next year. They stated that the impact was something along the lines of negligible. Never mind that the intersections along El Monte at Cuesta, Covington, and Foothill are minor disasters already.

2. LASD Board of Trustees is going to expend more energy with their vendetta with Bullis Charter School - they elected to sue the County School Board over their decision to allow preferential admission of LAH residents. Money and time that could be spent elsewhere.

3. The minutes of the previous meeting showed that the board has asked the city of Mountain View to look into land adequate to handle a school North of El Camino. This is timely with the Home Depot falling out of favor with the board to take over the Sears site.
