Well, the current Kolb options have been well outlined by this blog. The Kolb-related board meetings have been identified for January. Staff is working on refining the options and until they present them I don't feel it wise to speculate, especially because no one board member should speak on behalf of the board. This situation has serious educational, legal, and financial aspects. BTW, a boundary committee will soon be assembled to deal with all boundaries in the district, not just this one. <br/><br/>The other aspect here is the continuing depiction of East vs. West. I don't buy into it and neither should you. Certainly staff doesn't buy into it either. None of the current board members represent one side of town, none of them. Decisions are made based on fact and research, not geographical preference. Its time to put this myth to bed and work together.

Does he intend to use this blog only to propogate his own agenda and to ignore important questions which he does not have a good answer for? The people of Dublin should be very wary of such a person.

I can understand the need to delay for financial reasons but why would you overcrowd the classes instead of a simply boundary adjustment?<br/><br/>Don't some classes in the west schools have 16 or 17 students while some in the east ave 21 or 22? Would you allow this if it were reversed and schools on the west were asked to cary over 20 studnets? Hey John L, would you comment on the delay of Kolb?

Great news about the direction our schools are headed in. I agree that we are going in the right direction, but we still have a ways to go to become the premier school district in the Bay Area and State. Our kids are capable and deserves a chance to proof themselves. We want to groom them to be leaders and not followers when they move into their adult life. Can't wait for the days when we have top schools to boast about like the Palo Altos, Cupertinos and Fremonts of the world. Thanks John L. for keeping us informed.
