Tensions are once again publicly flaring between the Mountain View Whisman School District and the city over how to split millions in taxes.
Mountain View Whisman's school board members agreed this week to take a formal vote on whether to change the middle school bell schedule.
Mountain View Whisman's board voted to approve the city's proposal for a new joint use agreement, putting the ball back in the city's court to give the final sign off to a deal that has been the cause of significant tension.

A majority of Mountain View Whisman's school board expressed support at a recent meeting for electing Devon Conley as its president and Chris Chiang as vice president for the coming year, with a formal vote scheduled for next week.
