Los Altos is at a crossroads between residents who want to preserve the city’s “village character” and city officials pushing to become more modern. The opposing viewpoints clashed at a Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, when commissioners discussed a General Plan that describes the city’s vision for the next 25 years. “The conflict in the document, which I think is ultimately the main conflict of Los Altos, is the tension of wanting to keep everything exactly the same and also this huge necessity to grow,” Commissioner Mehruss Jon Ahi said.

lies and leaving special-needs students for public schools. Bullis has fired back, arguing that the county office is imposing illegal racial quotas at the expense of Asian students.
Bullis sought county records Bullis filed a records request for the county office’s communications and demographic analysis regarding its contentious charter renewal in August 2024. Bullis sued the county office for allegedly not fulfilling the request a month later.
“Because of the gravity and high-profile nature of the action to potentially deny the renewal of one of the highest performing public schools in the entire state, the records sought were certainly well-known to (the county office) and readily available to them,” the lawsuit said. The county office filed a motion to dismiss the case on Feb. 19, arguing the demographic analysis was publicly available.
of Bullis on May 30, citing the California Public Records Act: “Access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business is a fundamental and necessary right of every person in this state.”
Case is headed to trial Both sides will be back in Santa Clara County Superior Court on July 21 to discuss a trial schedule. The records lawsuit is one of two cases between the county office and Bullis. ‘The people’s business’ Another suit stems from the county ofJudge Hellen Williams ruled in favor fice requiring Bullis to develop a plan
Racial quotas Bullis attorney Lee Rosenberg said the county office is “insisting that BCS achieve de facto ‘racial quotas,’ but conveniently resists calling them that in light of the illegality of the term.” Bullis has 62% Asian students, 17% white students and 5% Hispanic students. In comparison, the Los Altos School District is 40% Asian, 36% white and 10% Hispanic, the lawsuit said. One in four students in Los Altos goes to Bullis, which is split between portables at two middle schools. Bullis is a charter school. Therefore, the Los Altos School District transferred $10.7 million in property taxes to Bullis and provided $865,000 in portable classroom rentals last school year.

You know that feeling you get when you get into the check-out line at the grocery and realize you’ve put more things in your cart than you have money to pay for them? Sheepishly, you have to remove enough items in order to reduce your total so you can cover your purchases. It’s embarrassing to take things out of your cart and tell your kids to put the items back in the store while you wait in line. You feel like everybody is looking at you. But while it’s embarrassing, the fact is you don’t have the money in the bank to pay for it. Members of the Palo Dave Alto school board must Price have had that feeling on Tuesday night when they realized how much their negotiators had agreed to give the school district’s unionized employees. Above the inflation rate The proposed contract for non-teaching employees — such as custodians, secretaries, aides, etc. — called for a 5% retroactive pay increase for the school year that just ended, and another 5.2% annual increase effective July 1, plus $10,000 in bonuses. That’s above the 3.5% inflation rate for the Bay Area for the 12 months ending June 1. So those employees came out ahead

But here’s the stunner. For some reason, the school board gave them 80% of all property tax growth above 5%. The board was ready to give a similar 80% deal to the teachers, but backed off at the last minute. Teachers will be getting a 5% retroactive pay increase for the school year that just ended, and another 5.4% annual increase effective July 1, plus a $10,000 bonus. A starting teacher’s salary would go from $91,546 to $101,067 in the new contract. The average salary would go from $130,072 to $143,599, and the top would go from $168,598 to $186,132, plus benefits and bonuses. Money grab None of these raises are based on merit. It’s all about how much money the unions can grab.

is just a tactic to get you to sign on the dotted line now. The board had it in their power to walk away from the deals with the two unions. They could have said, “This isn’t what we expected.” The unionized employees wouldn’t go without pay. The board could simply extend the existing contracts until it got a deal it liked. In fact, walking away from these bad deals would force the unions back to the negotiating table.

OPINION Wasting water
Dear Editor: Bravo to Post Reporter Braden Cartwright for his informative article Monday about the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s wasteful water policies. Utilities Advisory Commission Member Utsav Gupta called out these costs, but the council declined to incorporate his science-based recommendations into Palo Alto’s Urban Water Management Plan. Palo Altans are paying a double cost for these: our water prices are rising and our river ecosystems are dying. Until we adopt a science-based water policy, those costs will continue to grow more than necessary . David Schrom Palo Alto

Supe’s DEI affinity
Dear Editor: The exorbitant 396,000 annual salary offered to Jason Glass to head the Palo Alto School District may be dwarfed by the cost of lawsuits stemming from his use of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies. The voters of California have banned the use of race or gender in public hiring and schools. His public support of DEI shifts the burden of proof from the plaintiff to the school district for any claims of discrimination. That will inevitably make defending these lawsuits difficult and expensive, padding the pockets of lawyers on both sides. Ultimately, it will hurt students, teachers and taxpayers.

City eyes higher hotel guest tax BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer
Mountain View City Council is looking to raise the city’s hotel tax on a crowded November ballot. Council tomorrow will consider a measure to raise the hotel tax from 10% to 15%, bringing in an estimated $5.2 million per year from 19 hotels. The revenue could go anywhere in the city budget.

7 dead in Chicago weekend shootings A spate of shootings in Chicago has led to at least seven deaths and 38 injuries since Friday evening, police say, prompting President Trump to renew his call for a military intervention. “Why isn’t Gov. Pritzker calling me for help. I could make Chicago a safe City in ONE MONTH,” Trump said on social media yesterday.
The office of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender who has repeatedly rebuffed Trump’s calls for a military intervention, did not respond to a request for comment. Police data shows a slight uptick in shooting incidents compared to the first half of last year, but violent crime rates have dropped.
