Katherine Gomez retired in January 2019 after eight years as superintendent and more than 30 years with the district overall.

In District 8, Councilwoman Sylvia Arenas is squaring off with her old Evergreen School Board colleague, Jim Zito.

A POA-sponsored website suggests that council contender Jim Zito may have some anger management issues.

A darkened photo of the District 8 rep has been yanked from a Silicon Valley Organization PAC website in response to public outcry.

Eight candidates across three San Jose City Council debated Friday morning at a Silicon Valley Leadership Group forum.

Less than five months from election day and San Jose Councilwoman Sylvia Arenas finally has a challenger: trustee Jim Zito.

Right after ending a five-year tenure as chair of the Santa Clara County GOP, Bob Nuñez landed a new gig as an acting superintendent.

Acrimonious negotiations are once again underway in the Evergreen School District. Sadly, this has become the norm over the last six years.

Recalcitrant school boards and some teacher unions are at the core of a new education battle. A report in the Mercury News last week found that the Evergreen School District’s teachers have been “working to rule”—which means only doing what’s required according to contract, and nothing more—for several months. This type of posturing only hurts students. It also damages the perception of teachers, and will only encourage the continued growth of non-union charter schools. Courageous leaders on both sides have the power to prevent this type of action, or a threatened strike vote by teachers. In order to restore the trust, board members need to take action to form a settlement.
