We all want safety for our children. We also don’t want them to lose the open park nature of their neighborhood. An alternative could be to just fence in the school grounds and leave the field open. Or no fence at all and use the savings to pay for security, more secure locks for classroom doors, or many other options we should discuss.
We are asking for transparency and First Neighborhood resident input. We will take the petition to this months School District board meeting.
Regardless if you sign or not, we need to represent First Neighborhood. Tell your friends throughout the community.
Please join your neighbors at 5:30pm this Tuesday at LVUSD main office, located at 4111 Las Virgenes Rd, Calabasas, CA 91302. Next door to AE Wright Middle School.
If you cannot attend this Tuesdays meeting, please email your comments to the District Board President Leslie Stein at: lstein@lvusd.org
Please also contact the superintendent Dan Stepenosky at: dstepenosky@lvusd.org

Happening this summer. Without notice to residents, the Las Virgenes school district has decided to install a fence around White Oak Elementary in First Neighborhood.
They plan to install this fence along the property line that runs from east to west from the slump stone wall along Hartfield to the wall along Crownfield.
Then about 10’ from the greenbelt path behind the FN community center all the way to the top of the hill. They have rejected the idea to leave the field open and put the fence along the back of the portable buildings and playgrounds.
More information needs to be gathered, but it is likely to cut off access to the paths that lead from the north to the south side of the campus between Village Schools Rd and the community center & park.
First Neighborhood was originally called “The Park”. To maintain this park atmosphere the developers placed the school in the middle of the neighborhood next to the city park and right next to our property lines, since no property fence was ever planned.
My opinion it that a minimum easement should be established around the school property. To insure that direct access to the park, community center, and playground isn’t cut off from the South side of the neighborhood.
At the very least, the district should leave the gate open when school isn’t in session. Otherwise it will definitely interrupt the flow of the neighborhood and greenbelts. See the attached photo.
We all want our kids to be safe at school. So this isn’t about having a fence or not (I personally would rather not), but protecting the flow of our beloved neighborhood.
