CLARIFYING RESOLUTION NO. 42-06, TO REAFFIRM SUPPORT FOR
REORGANIZATION THAT MAINTAINS CURRENT ATTENDANCE PRIVILEGES
WITHIN THE PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR 9TH THROUGH 12TH
GRADE STUDENTS
WHEREAS, on June 8, 2006, the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills adopted
Resolution No. 42-06; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, via Resolution No. 42-06, petitioned the Santa Clara
County Committee on School District Organization to grant the Town's petition and:
1) Develop a tentative plan for creation of a K-8 school district within the Town of Los
Altos Hills that satisfies all legal requirements for the reorganization of school
districts;
2) Define the boundaries of such elementary district to include as much of the territory
of the Town of Los Altos Hills as the County Committee deems feasible and
appropriate to satisfy all legal requirements;
3) Work with the State Board of Education and all affected school districts to design
appropriate waivers and/or special legislation to ensure that the children of the new
elementary school district feed into Palo Alto Unified School District or the Mountain
View Los Altos High Union High School District, as of right, pursuant to current
attendance patterns for grades 9-12. If that arrangement is deemed by the County
Committee to be impossible through waiver, special legislation, or practice; then the
arrangement shall result in creating an LAH K-8 School District with high school
services provided by PAUSD;
,,:4) Hold public hearings and study the tentative plan for the creation of a Los Altos Hills
School District pursuant to sections 35721 and 35720, et seq.;
5) Approve such tentative reorganizing plan; and
6) Send such tentative plan to the State Board of Education for its review and approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills does
RESOLVE as follows:
The Los Altos Hills City Council hereby declares the following important clarification to
its previously approved request to the Santa Clara County Office of Education Committee on

opposition for any reorganization that does not maintain current attendance privileges to the Palo
Alto Unified School District for 9th-12th grade students residing within the area of Los Altos
Hills presently served by the Palo Alto UnifiedySchool LVD__
