Superintendent's Message

The Asset Management Superintendent's Advisory Committee (SAC) has met several times since the start of the school year, with additional meetings scheduled in November and December. As a reminder, the purpose of the SAC is to evaluate and determine with a student-centric focus the most efficient ways to continue to operate the district’s school site facilities.

 

The committee members are currently reviewing an alternative proposal for district reorganization that was shared with the Board on May 20, 2024. This proposal includes some school closures, grade configuration changes, and expansion of specialized programs (e.g., Dual Language). The committee discussed pros, cons, implementation options, and potential impacts of the reorganization. 

 

It is important to note that no final decisions have been made. This is an ongoing project, and any changes will not take effect until the 25-26 school year.

 

To ensure transparency of this process, we want to provide our community with the latest information. At the Board meeting on November 14, the SAC facilitators will be providing an update on the work of the committee. In addition, you may review meeting materials and minutes on the SAC website, where you may also submit questions and feedback.

 

An important part of ensuring a quality education for the children in our community is making sure we have modern and safe facilities, including necessary infrastructure upgrades. Our Board of Trustees have placed Measures PP and QQ, both general obligation bonds, on the November ballot. If approved by voters, Measure PP will authorize $67 million to improve safety and security, and Measure QQ will authorize $58 million to make critical repairs to schools throughout the district. You may review the Frequently Asked Questions for additional information about these measures.

 

Thank you for your continued support!
