Lines Being (re)Drawn for Los Altos Schools

Schools are a pillar of real estate value. So when a school district redraws boundaries, it’s going to raise a lot more than eyebrows.

 

Los Altos is in that situation. Anyone who is planning to purchase a home in this city, needs to make sure that they are up to date on the new Los Altos School District attendance boundaries that were adopted on June 18, 2007. They will go into effect during the 2008-09 school year. Families already enrolled have already received a letter from the board.

 

School overcrowding is frequently a problem when choosing a new home. An incoming family may turned away from the neighborhood school due to maxed out enrollment.

 

Since 1999, Los Altos School District has been dealing with this problem by renovating and modernizing existing buildings, replacing the ninety leased portable classrooms with new buildings, and to reopen Covington School.
