Los Altos School District Board Proposes Extension to Current Facilities Agreement with Bullis Charter School Due to COVID-19 Uncertainties

At its Monday, April 27 meeting, the Los Altos School District (LASD) Board of Trustees directed Board President Bryan Johnson to propose a 2-year extension to the current facilities agreement with Bullis Charter School (BCS). The current agreement provides facilities for BCS at the Egan Junior High and Blach campuses for a total of up to 1,111 students and expires at the end of the 2020-21 school year. 

Superintendent Jeffrey Baier highlighted three issues resulting from the pandemic crisis that complicates future facilities planning for a long term agreement with the charter school, including state and local requirements for social distancing on school campuses for future school years; financial implications resulting from the economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis; and restrictions on in-person meetings limiting the opportunities for public feedback on any facilities proposals.
