Support Alzheimer’s legislative action

I am 15 years old, and my grandmother is one of the 5 million Americans living with Alz- heimer’s disease. In order to help patients like her, I developed a diagnostic tool for the early detection of Alzheimer’s that uses machine learning and de-identified patient data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.

But no amount of individual effort will be enough to end this disease. Instead, we must work together and strive to make public policy choices that advance Alzheimer’s research and patient care.

Kudos to LASD for ‘courageous’ deal

Regarding Sangeeth Peruri’s column, “Sharing is the solution for BCS, LASD” (April 17): I am disappointed with his stance.

First, we do not have two communities, Bullis Charter School and the Los Altos School District, but one community: Los Altos, Los Altos Hills and Mountain View families. Some choose to send their kids to Bullis Charter School, some to district schools, some to both over time.

Egan students deserve better

I respectfully disagree with the April 10 editorial (“Bombshell deal just might work”) and Nancy Bremeau’s letter (“LASD scores an ‘A’ for 10th-site plan”) concerning the deal to give the whole of the Egan Junior High School campus to Bullis Charter School and move Egan to a new site.

I grew up in the Los Altos School District and graduated from Egan in 1994. At that time we had six elementary schools, Bullis Charter School did not exist and there were 351 students at Egan. If my counting is accurate, it means 351 Egan students enjoyed an entire 18.8-acre campus to themselves.
