The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) is the state's way of giving more control over the education monies back to the school districts. Berryessa USD is conducting a survey of the community priorities for the district's resources.
The three question survey is one major way the district is collecting information to help plan how they spend their monies.
Because it's only on "one page," it should take no more than 3-4 minutes to complete.

Cool Vending Machines
Vending machines were very popular during the 70s and 80s in the US, but they're not as easily found nor innovative as they once were.
However, in other parts of the world, especially in Japan, they're very much a staple of daily living as well as an artistic way of food/goods delivery.
Here are a couple of items (obtainable through vending machines) that really caught my eye:
Live Crab (China)
Lettuce (Japan)
Pizza (Italy?)
French Fries (Australia and other countries)
Lobster (California)
Cupcakes via ATM (California)
Tentative 2014-15 School Year Calendar
This is pending BUSD Board approval.
There may be some changes, so this is informational only.
Note the possible start date.
