Mission: Open a neighborhood school in the Whisman-Slater Area
Background
For some background, please check out this presentation which was presented to the board on Nov 12th, 2015:
The Northeast quadrant of Mountain View has over 500 elementary students attending public schools in Mountain View, but there is no school in this part of the city. Whisman was closed in 2000 and Slater in 2006. Now is a critical time to act before millions dollars in school funds are divided between the 8 existing elementary schools leaving no neighborhood school for this part of the city.
Progress
As a result of the community action, strong presence and compelling argument to open a school in North Whisman, the board voted to reopen Slater at the December 10th meeting. This was a huge victory for us.
Nonetheless, we must be an active community until we are actually enrolling our kids at Slater. We've actually been here before, and a drop in vigilance sent us back to square one.
