Classroom overcrowding news and my new job
It has been a busy two weeks since the last school
board meeting. There's been a real focus on student
housing (i.e. seats for students in classrooms). The
school board and district have been working on this
issue since last November when they received a
demographic and facilities study. In April (agenda and packet) and June (agenda and packet) there were two study
sessions to discuss the various options for
dealing with our overcrowded schools.
In the last two weeks there has been significant progress in two ways.
I attended the joint meeting and the Chadboarne meeting and both were extremely informative. While there were no decisions made, these events are critical as they have educated and opened the lines of communication between everyone. I will blog more about these student housing issues in the future.
On a personal note, I started a new job on Monday. I now work as an Engineering Director at Digital Fountain a Fremont start up company. A little blurb about the company:
I'm working on the CDN project. We're also hiring, so if you're interested let me know!
In the last two weeks there has been significant progress in two ways.
- The city council and school board had a joint meeting on October 1 completely devoted to the impacts developers have on student housing. The joint report presented by staff was particularly useful.
- The district conducted two community meetings in the Mission attendance area (one for Chadborne Elementary and one for Mission Valley Elementary).
