In this blog I have repeatedly emphasized how we wouldn’t have the great schools we have today in San Carlos without the San Carlos Educational Foundation. The amount of work and dedication in this group is nothing short of amazing, it is one of the things that sets this community apart from so many [...]

Although we knew it was likely to happen for a while, it’s nice that it’s official. Thanks so much to the Sequoia Healthcare District on its three-year, $1.32 million grant to the San Carlos School District. See the story on the district web site. The following is a letter I sent to my personal e-mail list outlining a summary of this school year and what we look forward to next year: Dear Friends and Supporters, As another school year has ended, it seemed appropriate to give everyone an update on the state of the San Carlos School District, what we have [...] On Sunday, June 6th is one of my favorite fundraisers of the year (besides Spring Fling of course). An Evening at Town is a fun cocktail party and dinner at Town Restaurant on Laurel Street in San Carlos. I have a particular affection for this event, as I helped launch it four years [...] The Carlmont High School PTSA is sponsoring an interesting (and free) Parent Education Event at the Calmont Performing Arts Center on Monday, May 24th from 7-9pm.

Besides generating [...] Last night the school board unanimously approved changing our elementary school boundaries. As I’ve written in earlier posts, this is a change that has been discussed for a number of years, and the Board made it a priority to complete this year.

It’s a systematic issue and not one related to specific legislators, as I actually admire many of our state elected representatives. However, they are paralyzed by a [...] Probably the lowlight of yesterday’s Board meeting was our budget discussion. As I reported in early November, we continue to have a serious budget crisis due to the continued decrease in revenue from the State. And unfortunately the State appears to be in a new fiscal crisis and most people believe it will [...] This week has been a big week with regard to the proposal to change boundaries in the San Carlos School District. Almost two weeks ago I posted information about the initial proposal that came out of the enrollment subcommittee. Since that that time, we’ve had a community town hall meeting, multiple school site meetings, and [...] |
