County committee to hold hearings

The Santa Clara County Committee on School District Organization will conduct two hearings to obtain public response to a petition to transfer territory from Campbell school districts to the Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High and Saratoga Union school districts. The petition has been signed by more than 25 percent of the registered voters in the territory. The meetings are scheduled to be held on Wednesday, Feb. 25, at Marshall Lane School, located at 14114 Marilyn Lane, in Saratoga, at 5:30 p.m., and at Argonaut School, located at 13200 Shadow Mountain Drive, in Saratoga, at 7:45 p.m.

The territory proposed for transfer includes about 55 acres of land and 35 homes in Saratoga, roughly bounded by Allendale Avenue, Chester Avenue and the existing boundary between Campbell and Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union high school districts.
