A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT CHRIS NORWOOD ON BEHALF OF MILPITAS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION

Milpitas Unified School District’s Board of Governance will continue its inquiry into the recent board appointment process as requested by several members of the public and community organizations. Our research began shortly after the appointment was called into question. We have been in contact with the Santa Clara County Office of Education and the Registrar of Voters to determine the best course of action. With additional information introduced at the September 24 board meeting, we are researching and planning for a meeting to discuss the matter openly and in front of the public as we have done throughout this process. We want to thank everyone for being actively involved and request that we remain respectful with an open mind as we work through this together as a Board, District and Community. More to follow.
