In Nov 2018, according to the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters office, Milpitas Unified School District made history as it passed its largest school district bond – $284 million – by the largest margin of voters – 71%. This community investment will provide $66.8 million toward the development of the MUSD Innovation Campus, accommodating enrollment growth and ensure healthy learning environments. The campus will include education and research centers for students. $25 million more is needed to complete the full campus. Partner with us and take part in completing the vision.

“We’re no longer in a state of emergency,” Yip-Chuan said, explaining the reason for her vote in an interview with The Beat. “We’re all back in person.”
Following the meeting, Trustee Tsai texted the three board members who didn’t vote with him this message:
“Think very carefully about what you are doing. Trust me, you should hope that nothing you do causes me to lose my race.”
He fights back…
I’ve received a number of deceitful, threatening, and abusive messages from other board members and their cronies over the years. I’ve patiently endured and given them the professional courtesy of giving them privacy and not publishing their harassing messages, despite being told by multiple people that I should go public about the lies and workplace bullying.
Maybe I should have. I technically still could.
As the Coronavirus COVID-19 has hit our city and county particularly hard, I will use this post to keep you updated on important information you will need right here in town. Some posts here will be updated with extra links to Covid-19 information related to their usual topics.
COVID-19 Case Rates by City
Zoom in and click on “Milpitas.” Updated 9/1/2022. There has been a huge jump in Covid cases in Milpitas in the past couple of weeks, so I will be updating more often. This map summarizes counts and rates of cumulative COVID-19 cases by cities within Santa Clara County. Cities with higher rates of cases per 100,000 residents appear as a darker shade of blue than cities with lower rates of cases. Date above is the last I saw I checked, but not the last it changed. Do realize that if you drive outside our city borders, or people come to your home or business from other areas, you become part of of a far larger population, and your risk increases. Since this number is cumulative, assume that many of these people have recovered. Compare to other cities in Santa Clara County.
| FIELD NAME | MILPITAS COVID-19 CASES |
| Cumulative case count | 14,918 |
| Population | 77,457 |
| Rate per 100,000 people | 19,260 |
Due to a significant and unresolved problem with the State of California’s CalREDIE reporting system, the County of Santa Clara Public Health Department, as well as county public health departments statewide, are experiencing significant underreporting of COVID-19 testing results. Because of this problem, the information presented in this dashboard/these dashboards since mid-July 2020 is incomplete. We will provide updates on the status of these reporting delays as soon as they are available. Additional information about these delays may be available from the State of California.
COVID-19 Cases and Deaths in all of Santa Clara County
The data on this dashboard provide a look at the number of new cases of COVID-19 and related deaths over time. A case is someone who tests positive for COVID-19 using viral testing performed in a lab. Deaths are listed separately for patients at Long Term Care Facilities because patients in these facilities are more isolated than the general public and represent a particularly vulnerable population. The Public Health Department closely tracks the number of cases and deaths that are being reported each day. Data on deaths will be updated on Fridays.
ORDER OF THE HEALTH OFFICER OF THE COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA REQUIRING USE OF FACE COVERINGS INDOORS BY ALL PERSONS
DATE OF ORDER: August 2, 2021 This Order is made in light of the recent significant increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Santa Clara County (“County”), due primarily to the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Emerging evidence indicates that the Delta variant is more transmissible than prior variants of the virus, may cause more severe illness, and that even fully vaccinated individuals can spread the virus to others. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) now both recommend that all persons—regardless of vaccination status—wear face coverings indoors. Vaccination remains the best and most effective tool in preventing COVID-19 and its harms; evidence shows that even against the Delta variant, fully vaccinated individuals have substantial protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. In considering options to stem the rapid increase in COVID-19 transmission, a continued increase in the proportion of the population vaccinated is the best measure available. However, universal indoor use of face coverings is the least disruptive and most immediately impactful additional measure to take.
See EVENTS Calendar on this site for more free pop-up covid testing sites.
Rapid COVID-19 Home Tests Go on Sale at Major Retailers
CVS, Walmart, Walgreens now stock no-prescription kits offering results in 15 minutes. Both are antigen tests — meaning they look for specific proteins from the virus — and both have received emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A doctor’s prescription is not required to purchase the rapid home-test kits.

Salmon in Silicon Valley
Salmon in Silicon Valley? The Valley is not known for its salmon but they are here in very small numbers. Their numbers are so low, that most people don’t know they exist, and if river health and function are not drastically improved, we may loose these salmon for good. Urban Wildlife Research Project of Silicon Valley has been monitoring salmon since 2011 along side other conservation groups Salmon and Stealhead Restoration Group, and Friends of Los Gatos Creek.
