School security, district cuts, enrollment and childcare

MVWSD is pursuing another $8–8.5 million in reductions after January's $7.4 million cuts, while enrollment is projected to fall from 4,664 students to 4,557 by 2031–32. The Bubb Elementary stabbing, $5 million historic-abuse settlement, student-press lawsuit, and regional childcare shortages remain active concerns. Los Altos School District's new 70,000-square-foot TK–8 campus is targeted for fall 2028, adding future questions about capacity, traffic, construction, and shared public amenities.
