| Superintendent's
Message: Start the Day for Students |
Dear
Learning Community Member:
Prior
to the start of the school day tomorrow, March 4, and outside
their contracted day, teachers at our schools will be raising
awareness about the financial challenges facing our schools and
all schools in California. As we enter our budget
development season, we know there will be additional cuts in
Mill Valley and across the state of California. I have
often said that one of the great benefits of working in this
school district is that there is great support for education,
and a keen understanding that quality education is a cornerstone
of our community's many strengths. Please read the
information the teachers give you tomorrow, and spend time
better understanding the educational challenges we face, not
just because interest and activism helps the students of Mill
Valley, but also because we need to look out for the best
interests of all children in our state.
Express
your thoughts and ideas to your elected officials. You can
link to their contact information by visiting the Marin County
Office of Education's Save
Our Schools web site. Thank you for taking the
time to study these issues and for your continued support of
education.

| Budget
Development |
As
mentioned in the Superintendent's message, the District has
begun the process of developing its annual operating budget for
school year 2010-11. The Board of Trustees is required to
adopt the budget no later than June 30. At each regularly
scheduled Board meeting, Assistant Superintendent Business
Services Michele Rollins provides a 'budget update'.
Beginning with the March 10 meeting, these updates will go into
much greater detail and will feature discussion regarding the
District's fiscal health to include any state reductions. As we
move through the next several months, the District will deal with
what will be a third consecutive year of state budget reductions.
We will post on the District website under 'Financial News' any
budget development information as it becomes available. We
will also begin formal outreach to the learning community to
'inform, educate, and involve'. Right now, you are strongly
encouraged to attend our March 10 regular meeting as well as our
annual finance study session on March 31.
District's
Board Meeting Schedule
Finally,
please take time to read each E.News as well as special
editions of E.News as we will periodically update our community
regarding budget development.
