Double Dip Recession, State Budget, Palo Alto Schools. Palo Alto Issues, posted by Suzy, a resident of the Crescent Park neighborhood, on Aug 7, 2011 at 6:02 pm
We are really worried now.
Having invested millions in a house on the idea that our 3 kids could go through top PA schools we now see that the double dip recession will cripple PAUSD to the tune of 10 million or so and that means that the admin of our schools will tank and we will end up like every other school district - in the red.
Can someone please make public the exact state of PAUSD finances and how we may or may not survive a double dip?

They just voted to NOT sell the Cubberley site due to enrollment growth.
One of the benefits of living in Palo Alto is wealth and ambition. We have generous donations and valuable PiE volunteers.
"Palo Alto Partners in Education (PiE) is the nonprofit 501(c)(3) foundation wholly focused on fundraising to enhance educational excellence for every student in the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD). Partnering with parents, school staff, and community members, PiE works to help preserve PAUSD’s outstanding schools and programs."

Mom says: "They just voted to NOT sell the Cubberley". The School District is quite capable of changing it's mind for money!!! They've done it many times in the past!!
