(More)About this blog: My wife and I moved to Mountain View in 2009, buying our house alongside Middlefield Road the same week as our third child was born. Since then, our two boys have grown up into public elementary school children, and our daughter is expected to follow them into kindergarten next year. My wife and I are both involved in our district public school, Stevenson PACT, and I've taken a keen interest in district-level activities such as the Measure C Parcel Tax Oversight Committee and the Measure G Bond Oversight Committee. I'm interested in learning more about ways to improve kids' educational experiences and outcomes, whether at home or at school. I am also always looking for interesting things to teach my own children at home, from electronics to foreign languages and beyond, and sharing these findings with other interested parents. My own educational background is Catholic primary and secondary schools in Orange County, Southern California, then Cornell University, where I met my wife, and also earned a B.S. in Applied and Engineering Physics and a B.A. in Computer Science. My formal education (has thus far) ended with an M.B.A. from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Come one, come all!
The last meeting of the Board Facilities Committee, in January, was very interesting. If you've been following the news, you may have noticed that the discussion at that meeting and follow-on meetings spawned coverage via two separate Voice articles:

I cannot promise that tonight's meeting will be as interesting as the one in January, but I can promise that attending the Board Facilities Committee meeting is one of the best ways to stay informed about, as well as influence, discussions regarding current and future renovation plans at the district's elementary and middle schools.
The agenda for tonight's meeting can be found here:

More information about the Board Facilities Committee can be found at the
BFC home page.
We hope you can join us tonight. And, for your calendars, the next two meeting dates are March 18th and April 15th (another reason to get your taxes done ahead of time ;)
