THanks to the city council for all that new high density housing.

"high density housing" creates more property taxes per acre than does low density housing so any additional burden on the tax property receiving entities should be offset by the increased property taxes.

Woodside Elementary School has k-8 with less overhead (one principal/superintendent) because it's at one campus. Unified districts brings consolidation benefits too. Of course that would eliminate Mr. Hartwig's job.....

Perhaps the district shouldn't have sold Ladera and La Loma - think of a) what those properties would have sold for now, and b) La Loma would have remained a perfect spot for the district.

It's not about what's best for the kids or the long term, it's about adult matters such as job security and fat budgets.

They didn't sell of Ladera and La Loma schools - the rent the district gets from Woodland and Phillips Brooks helps pay for my kids' education.

"rent the district gets from Woodland and Phillips Brooks helps pay for my kids' education."
Not an option, the funds went towards the superintendent's sports car, private vineyard in woodside, and etc.. Nice try.

Of course Mr. Hartwig pushes for a parcel tax in LLSD when his own parcel is in woodside. That's lame. you people are lame to get the wools pulled over your eyes. Your kids deserve better than just a test score.

Than you have the ones that walk the talk:
Fresno County School Superintendent Larry Powell, who's really giving back. As in $800,000 — what would have been his compensation for the next three years.
Until his term expires in 2015, Powell will run 325 schools and 35 school districts with 195,000 students, all for less than a starting California teacher earns.
