Shepherd, a former PTA volunteer, joined the council in 2009 and will serve as mayor in the final year of her first term, which happens to be an election year in which her seat is up for grabs. She will be joined in the center of the dais by Councilwoman Liz Kniss, a council veteran who was unanimously elected vice mayor. Shepherd is the 12th female mayor in the city’s history and the first since Yoriko Kishimoto in 2007. Shepherd is a particularly good fit to lead the city in 2014, given her penchant for responding to constituents’ emails and reaching out to stakeholders and partners both within and outside the city borders, Councilman Larry Klein said. He praised Shepherd’s ability to “disagree without being disagreeable.” “She knows that really to succeed, any council needs to reach out to people who agree and disagree on different issues,” Klein said. Kniss, who nominated Shepherd to the mayor’s spot, lauded Shep- herd’s “resiliency” and spoke at length about Shepherd’s passion for preserving the city’s quality of life. She noted that Shepherd had four children in five years while holding a job and cited the various awards Shepherd had earned for volunteering. These include ones from the Palo Alto Unified School District (she had served as president of the PTA council) and Adolescent Counseling Services, which gave her its “Volunteer of the Year” award. “I think the mayor in the coming year will need that toughness, that resilience, and I think we have just this kind of character in Nancy Shepherd,” Kniss said.

In the latest case, the federal agency is investigating whether the district adequately responded to a September 2013 complaint that a student had been discriminated against because of a disability. The September complaint alleged that the district had failed last spring to implement a written plan, known as a 504, to accommodate the student’s disability. Section 504 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973 guarantees certain rights in public schools to students with disabilities and their parents. A spokeswoman for the school district said the new case “stems from a grade dispute.” Superintendent Kevin Skelly received notification of the case Dec. 16 in a letter from the Office for Civil Rights. In the letter, the federal agency said it has “determined that the allegation ... is appropriate for investigation.” But launching the investigation “in no way implies that OCR has made a determination” as to the merits of the complaint, the letter said. ! Of the nine Palo Alto school district investigations opened by the Office for Civil Rights, four remain pending, including the newest one. The other three include two allegations of disability-based harassment % and one probe into the district’s compliance with Title IX, which bars sex discrimination in education programs receiving federal funds.

300 Sand Hill Circle #202, Menlo Park Luxury, One-level, Condo in 18 unit building with fabulous Views of the Sharon Heights Golf Course!

Owners spared no expense in creating the feeling of an Italian Villa (in French Renaissance décor), similar to what you might expect on Nob Hill or in Rome. The exciting and exquisite details were carefully chosen from the 15th Century Living Room Fireplace to the architectural features of the Custom Cabinets in the Dining Room matching the frames for the imported Venetian blinds. There are decorating surprises too numerous to mention—the Master Bedroom Walk- in Closet is a triumph of design and organization!! Also featuring hardwood ﬂ oors and crown mouldings throughout, a covered patio with wet bar looking out to the 14th Fairway, two car underground parking plus storage room, and year round heated pool and spa. Third bedroom has been transformed into an inviting sitting room for bridge, watching TV, and entertaining guests for cocktails!! List price $1,500,000
