"Santa Clara County Office of Education remains fully committed to sustaining the Walden West Outdoor School for students across Santa Clara County. For the 2026-27 school year, (the office of education) also intends to increase Walden West General Fund support, exceeding $1 million, to facilitate this alternative option."
"Community members and Walden West staff would like to see a definitive plan in place as soon as possible to ensure students can participate in Walden West programs next school year."
Walden West Outdoor School in Saratoga faces uncertainty due to planned renovations, prompting a potential temporary relocation to Camp Via West in Cupertino. The Santa Clara County Office of Education plans to lease the Cupertino site from September 2026 to May 2027. Local school districts must approve the move, and an agreement is needed by April 30. The office intends to increase funding for Walden West to over $1 million for the 2026-27 school year, but concerns remain about employee layoffs and the need for a definitive plan.
