A brief update on the exterior lighting at Capri Elementary School.
We are aware that some in the surrounding neighborhood have raised concerns regarding the lighting of the new construction at Capri. In response, we conducted a comprehensive review with our project architects, electrical engineers, and Facilities team to address concerns regarding energy consumption and light pollution.
Our evaluation confirmed that the current lighting system fully complies with Title 24 requirements, Division of the State Architect (DSA) standards, and the City of Campbell’s municipal performance standards. To objectively assess resident feedback, staff measured illumination levels at the residential fence line. These measurements ranged from 0.01 to 0.07 foot-candles, significantly below the 0.5 foot-candle threshold established by municipal standards.
While the lighting system is part of a DSA-approved project that must adhere to specific state safety and energy requirements—and is subject to existing builder contracts—the District has identified limited operational areas for adjustment. We are currently evaluating a one-month trial adjustment using a Wattstopper control system. During this trial, select second-floor exterior lighting will be turned off between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
This trial period will allow the District to monitor the impacts on campus safety, security, and deterring unauthorized activity on an active construction site. We remain committed to balancing our community's feedback with the essential safety and operational needs of our schools.
Highlights of exciting news within the Campbell Union School District.
Students and staff are living our values of learning, collaborating, and community building. Students at Village have been learning about local waterways and in January helped the South Bay Clean Creek Coalition remove 2,680 pounds of trash from Guadalupe Creek. In addition to helping make the waterway and accompanying trail more inviting with the trash removal, the students’ work also helped the salmon thrive. Students will continue their studies about the local waterway and its inhabitants throughout the remaining school year and are planning another day of service with the South Bay Clean Creek Coalition.
At Castlemont Elementary, third grade teacher, Hailey Robinson, was the recipient of the Key Influencer Award, As part of the recognition, Hailey was scheduled to fly with the Navy’s Blue Angels during Fleet Week which was cancelled due to the government shutdown at the time. In February, Ms. Robinson was given the opportunity to fly with the Navy in a FA-18 Super Hornet. Congratulations, Hailey!
