Please come to the San Mateo City Council meeting tonight at 7:00 or shortly after and voice your…Read More concern about replacing our community's skating rink with a retail store. Bring something to read/do while we wait for our turn to speak.

The City has spent time working with the developer, behind closed doors it would seem, yet input…Read More from the public was an afterthought due to MANY families showing up at a May 6 City Council Meeting (not on the Agenda, yet rink to close June 1 !) So many kids spoke so sincerely and eloquently how the closure would hurt them and their friends. Does San Mateo City Hall care about the residents of our community? Especially the children. City Hall has the upper hand (the Master Plan agreement), we expect them to step up. Why has City Hall allowed SPI to make the children of our community suffer so much agony and pain over this process? Shame on City Hall for letting this drag out !!

Eileen, you are heartily invited to visit the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Redwood City. We…Read More are a welcoming, caring group of about 177 people who
find music, laughter, social, intellectual and social action pursuits to be eminently spiritual. Our services are at 10:30 a.m. Sundays at 2124 Brewster St. Best work advice at this time is to keep checking Craig's List, the Peninsula section, under both Etc. and part-time jobs.

This is a great reminder that any other local volunteers who would like to share their projects with…Read More the community may do so on Belmont Patch! Simply email the editor at joan.dentler@patch.com. Great job Ari!

Courtney, that's why I say an open discussion and then a vote. People listen to all opinions. No…Read More boundary is absolutely not a lottery. A true lottery is complete random. The current no boundary policy favors families close to schools. In a way it is a form of variable boundaries that change year-to-year. The uncertainty is what parents don't like. If we accept uncertainty, then go all the way and have lottery. An alternative form is to let parents put their preferred school in the lottery, then perform draws among those who choose the same school. This way, parents do have a choice before the lottery takes place.

Hi Courtney, part of the problem with boundaries is that it penalizes certain families who are not…Read More close to any school. So, I agree with no boundaries in that a priority is for neighborhood schools. The problem is that in years of over-enrollment, which, lest face it, always, certain areas get their children bumped across 101 or across El Camino, The same areas being affected year after year is NOT fair. That's the part that I have a problem with.

And in terms of homeowner or buyer uncertainty, the lottery just increases that.

Yes, it is fantastic Belmont is helping out at Barrett and the Belmont Llibrary on Wednesday…Read More afternoons from 12:20 on. (This is more a question for the school district, why we have two full weeks before Thanksgiving break for conferences November 12 - 23, 2012 and two full weeks after winter break for conferences March 12 - 20, 2013. Parents are not even required to attend the March conferences, so why even have them. Just mail the report cards home and have two full weeks of school. Also, in most school districts conferences are handled in two days. Everyone has two days off of school and they are finished in two days. It does not go on for weeks on end of half days. I was shocked to hear this happened in the BRSSD.) Sorry for going off topic, Joan. I hope at some point Barrett can be torn down and fully renovated, but first the roads....

Agreed. Nice article about Barrett... but why are there so many "planning" and…Read More "staff development" days? That's 50 afternoons that kids are missing out on school and their development. Ah, but this is supposed to be a positive article about how our community is working to deal with the shortcomings of our schools. So, thank you Barrett community center and Belmont libraries for taking these extra steps to keep these kids focused on something positive. Thanks for encouraging sports and physical activity as well.

We will be sharing the latest petition results with the board on May 2nd, so please show your…Read More support by signing if you haven't already. There are only 7 K seats available at Nesbit to handle all of Phase 2 and Phase 3 enrollment. Rather delaying the decision, the board should be proactive and approve the 4th K class at Sandpiper at the May 2nd meeting so that Sandpiper staff can prepare for that additional K class, and parents can move on to collaborating with the district on long term solutions for over-enrollment.

@haveapizza: As a RWS resident, I find your comment to be offensive, arrogant and completely…Read More unhelpful to the conversation. I've heard great things about Nesbit, and I would never presume that parents in that neighborhood care less or are less involved than parents at schools in RWS. If there's a discrepancy in test scores, it's due to the much higher percentage of English learners at Nesbit.
