After nearly 15 years of disputes, the Los Altos School District Board of Trustees will review a proposal for a long term agreement with Bullis Charter School at its April 8 Board meeting at 7:00pm at the District Office.
The proposed agreement arose from a mediation process, in which two members of the Los Altos Board of Trustees and three of the Bullis Charter School board members met over the course of several months. The proposal will now be shared publicly, offering an opportunity for public input and a transparent community conversation before both boards vote on the proposal.
With extremely complex circumstances and limitations on public school districts due to existing California charter school law, no solution to the problem could be achieved without difficult compromises on both sides.
The broad parameters of the proposal are as follows:
Potential benefits to the proposed agreement for LASD include:
At Monday night’s meeting, the Board and the community will have the opportunity to review the proposal from the mediation team, as well as ask questions and provide feedback. Additionally, the LASD mediation team members and Superintendent Baier will visit all schools to hear from parents and staff to ensure that our community’s voice is heard through this process.
We hope to achieve a long term agreement that both boards would vote to ratify after a transparent and thorough public input process. Any final plan would require a process to envision building a successful educational future for our students and we invite our community to be part of that process.

The Los Altos School District believes the most important part of any agreement is that our children continue to receive the excellent education our teachers and academic programs provide. We hope our community will come together to share concerns, ask questions and provide input on this proposal to reach an agreement that provides stability and certainty into the future so all children continue to excel.
