New Improvements at Stocklmeir Elementary


One of the reasons that my Sunnyvale townhouse in the Sunset Oaks development has held its value is its location in the Cupertino School District. However, our elementary school, Stocklmeir on Dunholme Way, is overcrowded. Built to handle 750 students, its current enrollment is 840
and growing, as young families move into the area. A study updated in October estimates that there will be over a thousand students in the school by 2010. With an increase like this, portable classrooms will not be enogh to solve the overcrowding.
An ambitious new plan calls for three buildings on the west side of the school campus to be reconfigured, creating 13 new classrooms. The district also plans to demolish two buildings currently used by the Montissori Preschool in order to create a new library and music room. New play areas are also planned, and a new parking lot and drop-off area on Dunholme will complete the project, scheduled to begin in February.
