WE, THE RESIDENTS OF THE RIVERMARK COMMUNITY, ARE UNEQUIVOCALLY OPPOSED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY LOTTERY-BASED REGISTRATION SYSTEM FOR STUDENTS ENROLLING AT DON CALLEJON SCHOOL FOR THE 2009/2010 SCHOOL YEAR AND BEYOND. THE RIVERMARK COMMUNITY BOASTS AN UNPARALLELED TIGHT-KNIT NETWORK OF WELL-EDUCATED PARENTS WHOLEHEARTEDLY DEDICATED TO THE SUCCESS OF THEIR SCHOOL, NEIGHBORS AND COMMUNITY. OUR CHILDREN HAVE GROWN UP HERE AND DEVELOPED CLOSE BONDS WITH NEIGHBORS WHILE THE SCHOOL AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITY CONTINUALLY THRIVES. A LOTTERY REGISTRATION SYSTEM WILL UNDOUBTEDLY SEVER COMMUNITY TIES AND WEAKEN THE LEVEL OF SUPPORT THE SCHOOL NOW ENJOYS. THE PEOPLE SIGNING THIS PETITION RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE BOARD MEMBERS OF THE SANTA CLARA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT REFRAIN FROM DECIDING ON A LOTTERY SYSTEM FOR ENROLLMENT AT DON CALLEJON SCHOOL.

im still reading through all the stories people are leaving in the comments and it really shows how much this school means to us. spending the week reaching out to district board members to ask for a meeting about these enrollment plans. staying on this until they hear us out.

im honestly blown away by how quickly this has taken off. seeing so many neighbors come together shows just how much we all care about keeping our school community intact.

The school belongs to the neighborhood. Parents here put in so much work to keep it great and this will just ruin everything.

Such a bad move by the district. Listen to the parents for once.

DONT DO THIS. Our kids walk to school with their friends everyday. Moving to a lottery would destroy that.

Fix the enrollment issues without punishing the families already living right next to the school.

Ridiculous idea. We moved here specifically for this school and the neighborhood feel. Leave it alone.

This makes absolutely no sense. Why would they break up a community that works so well together? Keep it local.
