The Pleasanton School district announced Monday that it is looking at an additional $3.3 million deficit. This is on top of the current $3.6 million deficit.

The budget set for 2010-2011 from Gov. Schwarzenegger reduces the amount received per student by $201. The district received $5,681 per student. With 14,830 students, this reduction equals $2.98 million.

Superintendent John Casey stated that the district will need to look at additional cuts to close the gap. The district could cut an additional 50 positions, but the largest cut will be in class size numbers. Currently at 25 students per teacher, we could see this rise to 30 students per teacher.

The Pleasanton Housing Cap will soon be getting more attention in early 2010 as Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch rules on Urban Habitat’s suit. The 29,000 unit housing cap was passed by Pleasanton voters in 1996 which puts a max on the number of homes in Pleasanton.

In a suit filed by Urban Habitat and State Attorney General Jerry Brown states that the voter approver housing cap violates state law. The suit states that Pleasanton used the housing cap to keep development of workforce and affordable housing from happening in Pleasanton.

Pleasanton also has a growth management policy which limits building permits to 350 a year. If a builder cam in wanting to build an estimated 3,277 units it would take years to get the needed permits.

BART to Livermore Routes

If you are currently living in Pleasanton then the idea of BART in Livermore may or may not be a good idea. Traffic is a huge issue for I-580 and the BART extension will help reduce congestion, but at what cost? Where will the line run and how will it impact Pleasanton residents?

The second of three meeting will be held at 6:30pm on Dec. 10th at the Shrine Event Center, 170 Lindbergh Ave in Livermore. The City of Livermore wants to gather input for residents as to routes, design and size.
