Red Phone: 35 mph sign doesn’t fit
“The posted speed limit on Santa Teresa Boulevard between Fitzgerald Avenue and Day Road West is 50 mph. At 10215 Santa Teresa Blvd., there is a sign saying “35 MPH SPEED ZONE AHEAD.” However, there is no sign saying 35 mph at all farther down the road. The next speed limit sign is in front of Christopher High School saying 45 mph. Why have such a sign at 10215? Perhaps the sign should have said “45 MPH SPEED ZONE AHEAD,” or the sign is left over from the roadway configuration that existed before the high school was built and traffic lights added.”

A story of resilience at a time of tragedy
Of late, I have been thinking about how vulnerable our students are. At Sobrato this year we have now had two tragic events affect our student population. In the fall, there was the shooting death of Tara Romero, along with the injuries of three other students. And now it is three weeks since the disappearance of Sierra LaMar, who was abducted while walking to the school bus stop the morning of March 16. Of course we are all hoping that she will be safely returned to her family.
