Current Santa Rita School principal Greg Land, above, is slated to move to Blach Intermediate School.
After six years at Blach Intermediate School, principal Bhavna Narula is leaving at the end of the school year to take a position as an administrator in the Hillsborough City School District. Current Santa Rita School principal Greg Land is slated to take the helm at Blach.
Los Altos School District Superintendent Jeff Baier said in an interview that Land has had a “long, solid run” as principal of Santa Rita for eight years and will bring expertise and experience to his new role at the junior high school.
They are not medical workers. They are not soldiers drafted to fight a war, he said. They volunteered for a job in which they educate children in a relatively safe environment, and that environment is gone. We have to restore confidence in that environment.
Trustee Debbie Torok suggested that the district bring teachers back to schools first, before students, to help them acclimate to in-person teaching during a pandemic. I believe and maybe I m wrong but as soon as a teacher feels comfortable in their classroom they re going to be willing to embrace more of what is ahead, she said.
