MDUSD Board Meeting Tonight

Tonight the Mt. Diablo school board will discuss raising the tax rate on its 2010 Measure C bond in the hopes of lowering taxpayer costs in the long run. Restructuring the financing, however, could cause the district to exceed the cap of $60 per $100,000 of assessed value that it promised voters.

 

The board study session is at 6 p.m. in the district office, 1936 Carlotta Drive in Concord. Trustees will talk about accelerating future bond sales, according to the staff report. The public is welcome to attend.

Dance It Out
From our friends at Parents.com

The calendar says it's spring, but the weather doesn't agree. If your family is going stir-crazy, take a few minutes to have some indoor fun. Clear the floor, turn up some tunes, and have a dance party-just a half hour will give everyone an instant lift and help the kids burn off some pent-up energy.
