On Tuesday December 9th the SRVUSD school board is scheduled to vote on a modernization project at Stone Valley Middle School which will replace the current 1-story campus with a single 2-story classroom building. The funds for this project have already been allocated by the passage of Measure D in 2012. The school has been in dire need of this modernization for years. The school board has also been presented with a 1-story design that will meet the educational needs of the students, fit within the budget (and may actually be cheaper), add a much desired student quad, and have the same number of classrooms and capacity for students.


Please sign this petitions if:


-You are concerned that a 2-story building does not fit the character and integrity of a 1-story neighborhood in Alamo


and/or:


-You are concerned about congestion in the hallways, since all the classrooms will open into an interior hallway which will only be 12 feet wide. And that is if there are no lockers in the hallways.


and/or:


-You are concerned about student safety going up and down staircases in between classes, especially since the width of the staircases is only proposed to be 6 feet, 6 inches wide


and/or:


-You are concerned that students can go for multiple class periods without getting any fresh air, since the hallways are inside the building


and/or:


-You feel that being on the 2nd story of a classroom building would jeopardize student safety in the event of an emergency or evacuation


and/or:


-You are concerned that the 2-story design is being based upon construction of schools in new housing developments in San Ramon, which is a vastly different community than the long-established neighborhoods in Alamo


and/or:


-You are concerned that the district has intentionally kept details of this project from the community


and/or:


-You are concerned that the 2-story design will create space on campus for potential further expansion and increased enrollment

I have been reading through all the thoughtful comments you have left here and they have really opened my eyes to concerns I had not even considered yet. It is humbling to see how much this community cares about the future of our school and it reminds me that this project belongs to all of us.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about the future of our school campus. This momentum is entirely due to your willingness to speak up, because I never imagined this would reach so many neighbors.

I feel the area is way too impacted at this time and a larger school is not acceptable for the neighborhood. Also a two story structure is just out of the question It will be imposing and loom over the nice neighborhood that has been there for many many years. How unfair to the neighbors.

No two story, it invades my neighbors privacy and there are other options. They are not opposed tp being next to a school but privacy is critical to this neighborhood.

A single-level building would be a safer environment for children, with less risk for trips and falls and easier evacuation in case of emergency.

Two story Administrative/school are out of character in the community, please refer to the Mauzy School location and structure.

Our school should integrate architecturally to the neighborhood and not stand out like a sore thumb. It needs to incorporate the character and beauty of its surroundings.
