Proposition 39 is a California law that requires schools districts to provide reasonably equivalent school facilities to charter schools. As public school students, this is how Summit Rainier students are guaranteed a school building with enough space each year.

 

To ensure that we can negotiate the best possible facilities for Summit Rainier students, and to compel the District to provide us with the appropriate amount of space, we need every single family to fill out the attached form. By submitting the form, you are indicating that you are meaningfully interested in enrolling or re-enrolling your child/children at Summit Rainier.  

 

Every single form makes a big difference in our ability to get the best facilities for our students. Thank you for your help and support by completing your form by October 10, 2014.

 

Many of you know about the massive price increases in housing and rental prices and how difficult it has become to afford housing within the last few years. There is a major housing shortage in all parts of the region and as a result, many families less fortunate are being forced to move far away from work or onto the streets (the number of homelessness has increased significantly even as the economy recovered). For the last few months, I have been working with Sacred Heart Community Services to help pass a city measure to fund affordable housing. But we need your support to tell the San Jose City Council why they need to pass this measure. Please e-mail me at jgundayao.ra@mysummitps.org for more information on what you can do. Thank you.
