MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC <br /> <br /> Geoff Cooper, 7534 Flagstone Drive, asked if the School Board could establish <br />Pleasanton's specific standards. Not regarding where the City gets State funding but where the <br />City can say this is not the quality of education for the City of Pleasanton and communicate this <br />to City authorities to use in the decision making process for developments. Does the City want <br />to approve more developments even though the schools do not meet the State overcrowding <br />standards. He had a question regarding the traffic around the schools. He understood the buses <br />were not economical to run but he sees the traffic stack up around the schools. He would like <br />to see if something could be done to start running the buses again and encourage the students <br />to ride the buses. He mentioned the firearms control ordinance that had just been passed. He <br />suggested instituting a firearm safety program in the schools, with a cooperative venture between <br />the Pleasanton Police Department and the School District similar to the already existing "DARE" <br />program. He suggested having a joint City/School Board program to address this. Regarding <br /> <br />Joint Meeting 1 06/04/98 <br />School Board/City Council <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
