Principal's Letter- Important PTA meeting coming up.

In my many conversations with parents, one topic has been bubbling to the surface quite a bit recently- the enrollment growth of our district.  Springer isn’t the only school where this issue is a concern.   For this reason, LASD Administration and Board is seeking feedback regarding a potential bond measure.  Please see Superintendent Jeff Baier’s message below:
 

Preserving Our Small Schools:  A Potential Bond Measure

In the last decade, student enrollment in our local public schools has increased by more than 25%.  The current enrollment is as high as it was in the 1970s, when our school district had twelve sites instead of nine, as we do currently.  

To accommodate growing enrollment, preserve our small schools, complete basic repairs to keep our schools well-maintained and to provide updated learning technology, the Los Altos School District is considering placing a bond measure on the November 2014 ballot.  The potential $150 million bond would cost property owners no more than $30 per $100,000 of assessed valuation (not market) annually.  

Learn More at our PTA Meeting on May 7th at 8:45am.

To provide information and seek your input about the potential bond and the projects it could complete at our school, our Superintendent, Jeff Baier and a member of the Board will be hosting a parent coffee for all to attend on May 7th, at 8:45.   I hope you all will join me to learn more about this important issue facing our school community.

Junior Olympics tomorrow at Mountain View High School.  Come out and cheer on the Stingers as our 4^th-6^th graders compete in a variety of field events.  I hope to see you out there.

Go Stingers!
