Resident Wants Kathy Narum Re-Elected: Letter To Editor

Dear Editor:

One of my children will attend Hart Middle School next year, so the school capacity issue in North Pleasanton schools is very concerning to me. Maintaining small class size is important, and that requires adequate numbers of classrooms. I’m glad to see PUSD thoughtfully considering options to address school capacity issues in a way that targets the areas ofPleasanton that are most impacted.

My children currently attend Lydiksen, and it is wonderful to see evidence that the campus will get the upgrades that were formerly planned under the last bond measure passed in 1997. It is my hope that the latest bond measure will include creative options to address North Pleasanton capacity issues, as well.

I recently had coffee with Councilwoman Kathy Narum who serves on the City/School District Liaison Committee to ask her how the City is supporting PUSD’s efforts on capacity. I was happy to hear that the City is collaborating with PUSD, and that Kathy in particular is committed to championing a solution that encompasses every local resource available.

I can see why all five school board members have endorsed Kathy Narum for re-election to city council. She is a reliable partner in the pursuit of what is best for Pleasanton kids and families.
