• The Sunnyvale School District recently received a one-time payment of $6.385M from a settlement of the District’s Voluntary Desegregation Program lawsuit filed against the State of California in 1991.  In December 2005, the Board of Education approved the initiation of a Recommendation Team.  The Recommendation Team’s purpose is to prepare a recommendation for the Superintendent and the Board of Education on how to use the funding from the settlement.  The Team includes staff members, parents, students, and community members from throughout the School District and its schools. The Recommendation Team is tasked with sharing information about the settlement with the schools and the community, and collecting feedback on how the funding should be used to the next meeting on February 9.  If you have any input for the School District, please share it with Linda Kim, one of the Team's members at LKim@ci.sunnyvale.ca.us or 408-523-8150 x11.
