I am a mother raising my daughter in the same Los Altos neighborhood I was raised in, attending the same parks. What a surreal feeling. Recently the community I have spent a great portion of my life in let me down.
I had a terrible accident at a popular park in the area with my 3-year-old daughter. She’s fine now but ended up with a puncture-wound trauma to her head with stitches.
Nope, there’s not a new horror movie, documentary or sequel coming to your local movie theater. But an interesting issue has become increasingly important as Los Altos tries to chart a vision for its downtown and the community as a whole.

The Los Altos School District is a great place to live for many reasons. Top among them, especially for families with young children, is our incredible public schools. We are deeply appreciative that our community continues to put public education at the forefront of its priorities.
How do we wisely spend the Los Altos School District’s $150 million bond to best address enrollment growth in our public schools?
I currently sit on the Measure N Citizens Oversight Committee. I have observed the 20-plus-months-long process the district has embarked on with no real progress to date. November of this year will mark the two-year anniversary of the passage of the bond. In my view, we still do not have a well-thought-out plan.
