Ugh, really? Another blog?

Yes, really.

So much of what happens at Bullis Charter School is driven by parents, that there's value in gathering and sharing first-hand parental perspectives on being part of the BCS community. In the same way, so much of what happens at the Los Altos School District managed schools is also driven by parents, that there may be more common ground than we think.

I've been part of the BCS community for eight years (my 7th grader started here in Kindergarten). I'll be a part of the BCS community for another eight years (my youngest just started Kindergarten). I've been getting more involved over the last year or two in the discussions about facilities, and I've been doing what I can to move the conversation towards civility, objective fairness and (most importantly) a spirit of cooperation between the BCS and LASD boards in solving a mutual challenge. A mutual challenge that will require cooperation and mutual sacrifice at some level to solve.

My hope is that I can share my thoughts, desires and suggestions here alongside of other parents whose children also depend on the LASD Board of Trustees for facilities. My hope is that we can see each other as being more like ourselves, understand each other's challenges and work together towards a better way to share our extensive, but ultimately limited, resources. My hope is we can work together to continue providing the best possible education for all of our children.
