How to Quickly Find Out Your Cupertino School’s Accountability Score

How to Quickly Find Out Your Cupertino School’s Accountability Score



By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe, Your San Jose Saratoga Lynbrook & Cupertino Schools Expert



The California Department of Education recently released the 2009-2010 accountability progress report for statewide schools and districts at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/. Naturally parents are curious to discover how their current (or potential) schools are performing in relation to established goals and standards.



For a quick How-to, follow the directions below to find out how your current Cupertino school performed, and perhaps browse through the report to view how others did as well.



Go to the California Department of Education website at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/



Click COUNTY Level



Click 43-Santa Clara County



Click Submit



Select the first item on the list (see below)


2010 Growth API Report - List of Schools in the County



Click Submit



Then simply scroll through the alphabetic list to find your school district (Fremont Union High School, Cupertino Unified School District) and scan your schools to see how they’ve recently performed.



For your convenience, the link to the entire list of schools is http://api.cde.ca.gov/AcntRpt2010/2010GrthAPICo.aspx?cYear=2009-10&cSelect=43,SANTA,CLARA.

To get your own copy of this report , Michelle C. Carr-Crowe and the Get RE$ult$ Team will be giving them away, as part of their FREE Home Buyers Toolkit (www.freehomebuyerstoolkit.com) and FREE Home Sellers Toolkit (www.freehomesellerstoolkit.com) promotion, in person this Saturday and Sunday, September 18 and 19, from 10:00 am till 6:00 pm at the Moon Festival of Silicon Valley.



This year’s Moon Festival will be held at the Orchard Farms Shopping Center, located at 6148 Bollinger Rd., San Jose (in the Safeway, Chinese Performing Artists of America & Calabazas Cyclery Center). The cross street is Miller Ave.



You may also send an email to getresultsteam@hotmail.com and request a free home buyer toolkit or free home seller toolkit.

President’s Day Dollar Deal! Feb. 15 Carl's Jr. $1 off coupon for any cheesy bacon burger meal

President’s Day Dollar Deal! Feb. 15 Carl's Jr. $1 off coupon for any cheesy bacon burger meal

By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe

I love a bargain, don’t you? Just in time for President’s Day, Carl’s Jr. is offering $1 off any cheesy bacon burger meal. I’ve attached the coupon they sent me, so feel free to print it out and pass it on.

It isn't easy to find bargains in San Jose or Cupertino, but you can find some Carl's Jr. and take advantage of the coupon. (coupon is attached below)

Here’s the text from the email they sent me:

THIS PRESIDENT'S DAY, SAVE A WASHINGTON. The third Monday in February only comes once a year. Celebrate with the new Carl's Jr.® Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger-100% Black Angus beef, 2 strips of bacon and 2 slices of American and Swiss cheese, packed on a sourdough bun. Get $1 off a Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger combo. It's what George would want.

Here is the link if you want to go direct to their site. http://www.carlsjr.com/promotions/coupon/one-dollar-off-gcbb-combo/

Carl’s has a coupon and points club you can join. Send an email to register@carlsjr.com for details.

They send me coupon/special offers about every 2-3 months and don’t send a bunch of spam either.

So if you enjoy the occasional naughty fast food meal at Carl’s Jr., print out this coupon and enjoy the holiday…especially knowing you got to save a buck.

And if you're looking for a home bargain or great value home in San Jose, Cupertino or Saratoga, Just Call 408.252.8900.

Three Financially Sound Reasons Seniors Should Consider Selling and Buying in 2010

Three Financially Sound Reasons Seniors Should Consider Selling and Buying in Spirng 2010

By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe

I’ll make it brief and to the point: there are three financially sound reasons every homeowning senior should carefully consider selling, and also possibly buying, in spring 2010.
For example, 2010 is a good year to sell, and possibly also buy, in Saratoga, San Jose, Los Gatos, Campbell, Palo Alto, Santa Clara or Monte Sereno if you meet one of the following criteria:
1) You plan to sell and want to buy another property, especially if the new property will be less than $800,000, and/or
2) You have significant equity built up and want to save capital gains tax, as the existing benefit ends at the close of 2010
3) You are 55 or older, blind or disabled, and plan to sell in Santa Clara County and buy a home for the same price or less in Santa Clara County or one of six other participating counties in the Proposition 60 & 90 program.
Currently, there is a new, limited-time tax credit available to homeowners selling and buying a property (both must close by April 30, 2010). This window is open for about another 75 days.
Many people assume the capital gains tax we’ve had in place for years will remain with us indefinitely. Not true. The capital gains tax benefit that allows a single person to keep up to $250,000 in tax free capital gains, or a married couple can keep up to $500,000 in gains is set to automatically expire on December 31, 2010.
Although the real estate lobby will push for extension or expansion, given the current poor state of the economy, many are concerned about the perception that this is a “rich person’s benefit,” making it difficult if not impossible to garner support.
Sales of assets held more than 12 months and sold on or after May 6, 2003 qualify for the 15 percent capital gains rate (5 percent for lowest income taxpayers and zero percent beginning in 2008). The capital gains rate reverts to 20 and 10 percent for assets held for more than 12 months and sold after December 31, 2010.
