For Immediate Release: SAUSALITO MARIN CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT THANKS SUPPORTERS ON 15.9 MILLION BOND MEASURE.

The Sausalito Marin City School District (SMCSD) Board of Trustees and I are thrilled that District voters approved Measure I. Not only does this vote authorize construction bonds that will greatly enhance facilities that desperately need improvement but we also believe the voters’ approval of Measure I is a 73% vote of confidence for the SMCSD and the positive changes the District has made during the past five years.

Two years ago one of the District’s schools was recognized as one of the two most improved schools in all of California. The bond measure will help the District continue this forward momentum as the District continues to work toward ensuring that our students are just as well-prepared for high school as the students of other Marin County
School Districts.

The District’s next step will be to inform the community of the application process for those interested in serving on the Citizens’ Oversight Committee. Committee members’ responsibilities will include monitoring project progress and conducting annual, independent financial and performance audits of the bond projects. The District will also conduct community meetings to welcome citizens’ participation.

On behalf of the Board and the children, I thank every voter who supports our vision of excellent facilities for public instruction.
