PLEASANTON â The city council recently amended a current policy that assists local first-time homebuyers.
In a 4-1 vote, with Vice Mayor Julie Testa voting against the motion, the council agreed on Jan. 19, to add several more employment groups to the city s Down Payment Assistance (DPA) program in an effort to help more residents purchase homes during the pandemic.
The addition will include qualifying employees from the Pleasanton Unified School District, City of Pleasanton, Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, Alameda County employees and employees of local nonprofit agencies.
âI have some real concerns about it,â said Testa of the final proposal. âI think everyone who is income eligible should have a chance to come forward, so I am uncomfortable with this.â
An annual organizational workshop last Thursday gave Pleasanton Unified School District s two new trustees an in-depth understanding of the various protocols, roles and responsibilities involved in representing the PUSD community.
Pleasanton Unified School District is set to update its organizational work plan and governance handbook during a special Board of Trustees online workshop on Thursday, starting 5 p.m.
Early bird registration is now open for the annual Pleasanton Partnerships in Education Foundation (PPIE) State of the School District, being held virtually on Jan. 27 at 1 p.m.
