Eric Von der Porten

All of us in the San Carlos School District wish to express our sorrow at the passing of former School Board Member Eric Von der Porten.

Eric served eight years on the Governing Board of the San Carlos School District, including two stints as Board President.  He was also instrumental in the campaign and passage of both the Measure D parcel tax and the Measure E bond for the district.

Eric was always known as a Board member who brought intelligence, thoughtfulness, and kindness to the role.  I had the honor and privilege of working with Eric my first year in San Carlos while he was Board President.  He took a special interest in helping me in my professional transition and introducing me to this community.

I want to extend my personal sympathy to Eric’s family.  Out school district was honored to have been served by a fine, dedicated, and gentle man.  We will miss him.
 

- Steve Mitrovich
 

There will be a community memorial service some time in January.  I will send a follow-up note when the details are finalized.  At the request of his family, if anyone wishes to make a contribution in Eric’s name, please do so to either the San Carlos Educational Foundation (www.scef.us) or to the Carlmont Academic Foundation (www.carlmontacademicfoundation.org).
