SOURCES · METHOD · CORRECTIONS
See how the Millbrae knowledge hub knows what it says.
A local guide earns trust by showing its evidence trail. This registry identifies the institutions that maintain the underlying facts, the live feeds we use, and the boundary between source material and Millbrae Local’s own orientation.
Last checked: August 21, 2026. Links, agency pages, schedules, and programs can change. When a current decision matters, open the maintained source directly.
THE SOURCE REGISTRY
Every topic has an owner.
Millbrae Local connects sources; it does not replace the organizations that maintain them.
CITY & CIVIC LIFE
City of Millbrae.
Government pages, General Plan and specific plans, public records, archives, department contacts, City News Flash, and the official event calendar support civic, history, planning, news, and public-resource guides.
Open the City of Millbrae ↗SCHOOLS
District and school sources.
Millbrae Elementary School District maintains TK–8 enrollment, calendars, school boundaries, programs, board information, and accountability reports. Mills High School and SMUHSD maintain high-school information.
Open Millbrae Elementary School District ↗TRANSIT & SFO
Operating agencies.
BART, Caltrain, SamTrans, and SFO own their schedules, fares, service alerts, station information, and airport-connection rules. Our live board is an orientation layer over those systems.
Open the multimodal station guide →LIBRARY & CULTURE
Places that preserve local memory.
San Mateo County Libraries, the Millbrae Historical Museum, the Train Museum, MCTV, City archives, and cultural groups contribute different kinds of records, programs, and community memory.

LIVE DATA BOUNDARIES
What refreshes, and what stays editorial?
EDITORIAL METHOD
How a page earns a place in the hub.
1 · FIND
Start with the primary record.
Use the agency, institution, business, meeting document, calendar, map, or feed that owns the information.
2 · EXPLAIN
Add orientation, not invented certainty.
Translate the source into a useful local path, while distinguishing documented fact, current status, and interpretation.
3 · LABEL
Keep source roles visible.
Live feed, official source, editorial guide, community submission, and paid placement are different labels with different responsibilities.
4 · CORRECT
Update when the evidence changes.
Corrections, source suggestions, and story leads are welcome. We preserve the source trail and revise the page when a checkable source supports the change.
For current civic corrections or source leads, begin with the civic and news desk or the relevant agency source listed above. For business listing changes, use the self-service listing flow.
CORRECTIONS · SOURCE LEADS
A correction needs a checkable trail.
The right route depends on what kind of information changed.
A correction can change a page only after the evidence is checkable. We keep the source role visible and do not turn an unverified social post or undated screenshot into a local fact.
KEEP EXPLORING
Use the source map to go deeper.
Start with a question, follow the linked owner, and return to the knowledge hub for history, context, practical steps, and connections across the city.
