The meeting will be held Thursday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. in the Carlmont Student Union.

"We want to get all the input we can from the community," said SUHSD board president Alan Sarver at last week's Belmont City Council meeting. He added that meeting notices have been sent to residents in the vicinity of the school's campus on the Belmont/San Carlos border.

Sarver also noted that a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) study is underway. 

Parking and traffic, which has been an ongoing issue along Alameda de las Pulgas, will also be discussed at the town hall meeting. 

"This is a partnership opportunity with the San Carlos School District, in sharing parking with Terra Linda across the street from Carlmont," said Sarver. "We are looking for ideas to help improve traffic flow in front of the school."
