In this column, we will have Headlines. They will give a short synopsis of the story and the location for you to go to so that you may view the article. Please provide feedback on this new feature. Please let myself and Maggie know how you feel.

President, Emily, has alerted me to a new situational threat to the life-style that Balboa has generated for itself. We need to "mobilize the troops" ASAP. Please see the announcement page for the article, and the addresses of the School Board Members! In short, the School board is proposing a move, in the fall, of Downtown High to Balboa. There is a sample letter, as well as a copy of the letter Emily sent to the School Board, for you to look at, and use, as you see fit! Please assist us in stopping this TRAVESTY! Be sure to view the announcements page and copy/print the letter, as you can to use. Contact the SFUSD School Board Members to let them know, this is the wrong step for our children and for our school!

There is an announcement from the Principal on the announcements page. In part:

"Balboa High School is sustaining a culture of continuous improvement. This is in part, due to the students, staff, parents, and administration holding each other accountable for the academic growth of our students. We have improved from an Academic Performance Index (API) of 438 to 680 in 2006 to a projected API of over 700 for last year’s Standardized Tests.

The school’s culture and climate provide a safe, rigorous, relevant, and supportive environment in which all of our students may reach their greatest potential. This year Balboa graduates will be attending some of the most prestigious universities in the country, including Stanford, UCLA, Cal Berkeley, NYCU, Wellesley, and many others. We have ten Advance Placement (AP) classes, competitive with San Francisco’s top high schools." (To be continued on the Announcements)

Reunions page has been updated. If anybody has any other information about reunions, please send them to me and to Maggie, as well as Emily, so that we can get the info posted, ASAP.
