We appreciate you taking the time to reach out. Our commitment to serving the community responsibly means we are receiving a high volume of messages, and we aren’t always able to reach out to everyone individually. Please know that your concerns matter. The message below reflects our dedication to transparency, care, and thoughtful communication with everyone who contacts us.

To our parents, students, staff and community members,

We understand that the budget reductions process has brought concerns and frustration, and we appreciate how deeply you care about our schools. Your input continues to guide our understanding of what matters most.

As we move forward, the Governing Board will carefully consider the preferences shared by our community. At the same time, the Board must make decisions that protect the district’s long-term stability, uphold our priorities, and ensure we remain fiscally responsible.

These choices are difficult, and we do not take them lightly. Thank you for your continued engagement and commitment to our students and schools.

A Special Board Meeting will be held in the Governing Board Room on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at 5pm.

Respectfully,

Gigi F. Patrick, Ed.D.

Superintendent
