Quadside Lands highlights student talent
October 1, 2019
Despite the Associated Student Body canceling some performances due to bad weather, students are calling last week’s Quadside Lands a success. The festival featured the diverse range of student talent at Palo Alto High School, with performances from Palyce, Oscar’s Band Tribute Band Tribute Band, and more. An edited recording of the performances can be viewed here.

According to Yu, expenditure changes are the primary reason for the deficit. “[Compared to the adopted budget], certificated salaries are up $18.8 million (which translates to 13.4%), classified salaries are up $11 million (or 17%), benefits are up $5.6 million and all other objects are down $2.9 million,” Yu said. “These are settled agreements with our bargaining partners. They are contractual obligations and they are the primary driver of the change.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/budget-presentation-300x225.jpeg)
