Important Superintendent Message
Cambrian School District, February 24, 2021
Dear Cambrian Families,
Last night the San Jose City Council voted 9-2 to approve Cambrian School District’s general plan amendment for the land redevelopment project at Metzler C on Cambrianna Drive. As a result, we have been successful in meeting our overarching goals of creating a new, ongoing sustainable source of unrestricted revenue in the next few years, maintaining and honoring our community’s trust as to the work we have done the past few years on this project, and in providing various levels of future housing that will conform with the surrounding neighborhood. All of this effort was done in a manner that will financially empower our district to keep valuable programs and support for our students directly for many years to come.
If you would like to view the City Council Meeting and great public comments you can access through the following link: City Council Meeting (2.23.21)
On behalf of the Cambrian School District Governing Board and myself, I would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who partnered with us to see this two-year effort complete. I am sincerely grateful for every member of our Cambrian community who supported us throughout this process. Thank you to all who attended the San Jose City Council meeting last night and to those who gave public comments in support of the effort. We had over 1,100 letters sent to the mayor and council members prior to this meeting and there were 21 public comments from students, staff, parents and community leaders in favor of our project. We had four outstanding students speak on behalf of Cambrian and they did a fabulous job!
A tremendous amount of effort took place to ensure our general plan amendment passed. Two years and countless hours have gone into seeing this endeavor succeed, so much thanks to everyone for your support, and for sending letters to the mayor and city council members.
As we move forward with this Metzler C project, I will keep you informed on the progress and next steps as this is a land development project that will take time. Again, thank you for all your support as we just made a positive difference for our students today and for years to come with this project. We are CAMBRIAN!
