Court sides with Bullis - Mountain View Voice, April 23, 2008
According to the Santa Clara County Superior Court, a recent LASD lawsuit has been denied. The lawsuit was in reaction to a change in enrollment preferences that the Santa Clara County Board of Education awarded to Bullis Charter School. The enrollment preference is for roughly the same attendance area as the Bullis Purissima Elementary School slated to reopen this Fall.
Earlier in the year Tim Justus had admitted in an Almond PTA meeting that the new attendance preference could impact the LASD's boundary projections going forward. "We developed attendance areas not knowing someone else would come along and give another school the same attendance area." he said. When asked by a parent at that same meeting if the district would revisit the boundary issue should the lawsuit fail, he replied that the district will cross that bridge when they come to it.
A final ruling on the lawsuit, orignally scheduled for mid-February, had been delayed until now. The financial cost to the district for this failed legal action has not yet been revealed. At the onset of the lawsuit, Tim Justus was quoted in the Los Altos Town Crier as saying: “We have no idea what this is going to cost”
