Unincorporated North Fair Oaks residents, please sign this petition in support of keeping our home High School as Menlo- Atherton High. Children from the Unincorporated Menlo Park area of North Fair Oaks currently attend Menlo-Atherton High as their home High School. The Sequoia Union High School Board has proposed changing our home school to Sequoia or Woodside High in the coming years. They do this, in part, to make room for more children from East Palo Alto and Ravenswood districts at Menlo-Atherton High. This proposed change will make for longer commutes to Sequoia or Woodside High and further separate us from our Menlo Park community. The Board is currently discussing the process for redrawing the boundaries. The proposal to change our district was made without soliciting comment from our neighborhood. It is important that we are vocal in our opposition to the change. Please sign this petition and let the Trustees know that changing our home High School is unacceptable. The goal is to present this petition to the Board of Trustees and Superintendent prior to their creation of a tentative map of new boundaries.

It is appreciated if you are willing to sign your name to the petition.

The momentum behind this petition is proving that the Sequoia Union High School Board cannot just ignore our neighborhood anymore. They thought they could redraw our boundaries behind closed doors but now they have to face the fire.

September 29, 2013

One hundred people have signed on to tell the Sequoia Union High School Board that our neighborhood is not just a pawn in their boundary games. The trustees ignored us while planning this, but they cannot ignore a hundred angry families demanding to keep our kids at Menlo-Atherton.

The Sequoia Union High School Board is ignoring our neighborhood and we need to force them to pay attention. We are nearing one hundred signatures and I need you to get this link to your neighbors right now. If we do not hit this mark before they finalize their map they will treat our families like an afterthought.

THEY DID THIS WITHOUT ASKING ANYONE. so tired of the board making choices for us without checking in.

Ridiculous proposal. Leave our kids at MA high school.
