Welcome

Dear Neighbor, 

Welcome back to my website. I am continuing to implement new features and finding resources that you may find helpful. My staff and I are diligently researching fun and exciting activities and opportunities for personal enrichment available throughout the county. As we find new information it is being posted on the Family Resources page, so please take a moment to browse the events for anything you may be interested in. Also I will be adding new content and comments on a regular basis, so please check back often.

Just a reminder, I am here to serve you; if there is anything that I can do for you, please don't hesitate to call my office at (408) 299-5030 or email me at dave.cortese@bos.sccgov.org. I look forward to hearing from you.

Save Our Sports: Eastside Union High School District

With the state budget deficit growing by the hour, affecting everything from the public health nurses here at the County to sports and arts programs at our local schools, we need be creative as a community and find ways to preserve these vital programs for our students.
