Bullis and LASD on Los Altos City Council Agenda Tuesday Night

The city of Los Altos and the Los Altos School District have a tightly focused agenda on several aspects of the Bullis Charter School and the need for a campus.

Since the Mountain View City Council doesn't meet today, local residents with kids in the Los Altos School District might want to head over and listen in on the neighboring city's session tonight.

Usually, the Los Altos City Council and the Los Altos School District normally leave matters of joint interest to a twice-yearly committee meeting.

But 2012 has proved to be an unusual year, ever since the Sixth District State Court of Appeal 's lawsuit claiming that the school didn't provided facilities in accordance with state law. When the state Supreme Court denied the district's appeal, things changed quickly.
