This evening we held a community discussion at Blach. The goal of the meeting was to have a forum where parents of both BCS and Blach could come forward and ask questions related to the logistics of sharing the site. I'm pleased to say that the event was well attended by parents from both schools. We also had a couple of BCS Board Members join us, at least one of their teachers, and of course their principal. We even had a member of the Los Altos City Council come join us.
Many of the questions ocvered things we'd considered in the final offer, but there were also questions raised that we know we still need to hash out. The "Final Offer" is a document that sapecifies the space BCS can use, but it doesn't address the practical realities of life on the ground. Blach Principal Sandra McGonacle will be discussing many of those issue with BCS Principal Wanny Hersey this summer.
I believe that the discussion was productive- parents raised questions about the sharing of facilities, and how that all will work. We continued a dialogue, and are working to establish a cooperative culture between the schools. That's a win in my book.
