The Cupertino Union School District has lost more than 4,900 students between the 2015-16 and 2021-22 school years.
As part of the ongoing pushback surrounding the closure of two Cupertino Union School District schools, pleas for the district to reconsider have escalated to the Cupertino City Council — much to the district’s chagrin.
Although the council has no jurisdiction over the school district, parents have been asking council members for months now to take action. At Tuesday’s council meeting, Vice Mayor Liang Chao and Councilmember Jon Robert Willey led an unsuccessful effort to send a letter from the council to the district asking them to reconsider.
The district first convened an advisory committee to examine declining enrollments five-and-a-half years ago and has lost more than 4,900 students between the 2015-16 and 2021-22 school years. In the next eight years, the district projects it will lose another 4,000 students.schools are seeing across the state
But Willey argued that the council was elected to “represent the residents” and hear all of their complaints.
