Los Altos School District Zeroing in on Land for Tenth School Site
After a diligent, community-driven process, the Los Altos School District is taking steps to acquire land at 5150 El Camino Real in Los Altos on which to build a new school tailored to 21st century learning.
For more than four years, the school district has worked closely with the community to determine the best solution to address growing student enrollment and school overcrowding. These efforts culminated in the development and passage of Measure N, which LASD voters approved in November 2014. Significant input from a 26-member Facilities Master Plan Committee and numerous community meetings, task forces, workshops and forums concluded that pursuing a 10th site—without closing or relocating any existing schools—was the preferred solution to addressing enrollment growth without compromising excellent education in LASD schools.
