Adopted Resolution on Data Centers - Board of Education Action from May 7, 2026

Dear Mountain View Community,
At its May 7, 2026 Regular Meeting, the Mountain View School District Board of Education adopted a resolution regarding potential data center development within or near District boundaries.
The discussion followed community concerns and rumors suggesting that the District’s Madrid Property was being considered as a potential data center site. While this was not the case, the Board recognized the importance of proactively addressing the issue, as neighboring cities, school districts, and public agencies have also begun examining the potential impacts of data center development. Further, the board strongly believes the community's voice is the determining factor in these matters.
The Mountain View School District Resolution states that:
--
The Board opposes the approval, expansion, or siting of data centers unless a thorough environmental review is conducted to evaluate potential impacts on students, school facilities, utilities, and community resources. It also emphasizes meaningful community input — including feedback from underserved and unincorporated communities — so decisions are informed by those most impacted.
--
MVSD remains committed to transparency, student well-being, and protecting the long-term interests of our schools and community.

A previous statement on March 19, 2026, regarding the former Madrid School property and data centers shared that the District has had no communication about, nor has it considered, the Madrid property for use as a data center. The full statement can be read online.
