 | Principal Greg Giglio is leaving Village High, the district's alternative school, after seven years at the helm to take a position as principal at a Cupertino high school in January.
In a letter to parents and students, Giglio said the process to find a replacement has already begun.
"As part of the process, the district would like to invite parents to participate by coming to a meeting on Thursday November 29 at 6 p.m. in the Village Multipurpose Room to discuss what qualities you would like to see in the next principal," Giglio's letter reads. "Student feedback will be collected at a meeting on November 28."
The initial interview will be held Dec. 6, and will include district administrators, Village staff and parents.
"The final decision could possibly be made by mid-December, and I will begin working with the successful candidate to help make as smooth a transition as possible," Giglio said in his letter.
Those who are unable to attend the Nov. 29 meeting but would like to give input can contact Bill Faraghan, assistant superintendent of human resources, at 426-4348 or at bfargahan@pleasantonusd.netAre you receiving Express, our free daily e-mail edition? See a sample and sign-up for Express.

That is hard to do especially in a continuing school. I wish Greg all the best but you surely are an asset to our community!! Best wishes to you!

Dear Greg,
I don't even know where to begin to thank you for everything you have done for my family. You are a wonderful man and I wish you much happiness on your journey.
You have helped many kids and should be very proud. I know the staff and young teens will miss you very much. You have given them something that no one else could give them HOPE and BELIEVING in themselves.
I am honored that our lives have crossed paths. I know you did everything possible to make my child feel she was worth something.
Kathleen

Pleasanton school district stands to lose a great administrator in you but Cupertino stands to gain. We will miss you, but thank you for the years of service to our community and to our kids in Pleasanton.
God bless you.
