As required under the “Agreement Between Los Altos School District and Bullis Charter School for a Multi-Year Charter School Facilities Solution and for Resolution and Cessation of Existing Legal Proceedings” the District has provided additional facilities for the charter school over the last two years to address enrollment growth. The District previously has used proceeds from a line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank to pay for these facilities and needs additional proceeds to make final payments for the work done this past summer. Additionally the District may need funds for down payment on a site purchase. This resolution enables the District to borrow up to $3 million against the line of credit.
