School Closures
Our Roadmap to Resizing
Our district, like many in California, is facing declining enrollment impacting our funding and requiring us to consider closing and consolidating schools. As we embark on this journey together, the Roadmap to Resizing represents a carefully planned and thoughtful process designed to align our district’s resources with the changing needs of our students. This is an emotional issue for our community, and we are committed to making necessary adjustments towards building a more sustainable and student-centered future filled with opportunities for growth and improvement.
