Beginning with last week's meeting on April 9, a brief summary of the key issues discussed at each Sonoma Valley Unified School District Board Meeting will be sent to parents and guardians, staff and community members via email. Our goal is to make it easier for our community to understand the key decisions shaping our local schools and to understand how the Superintendent and the Board are addressing both ongoing challenges and new opportunities as they arise.

Each recap offers a quick overview of the topics the Board is tackling and any decisions reached (items voted on) during the meeting. A link to the video of the full meeting is also included for anyone who wants to explore the details further.

These recaps are designed to improve transparency and strengthen communication between the District and the families we serve, helping you stay informed about difficult decisions as well as the positive progress and momentum within the Sonoma Valley Unified School District. 

The April 9 public meeting recap attached includes discussion of the renaming of Altimira Middle School, the renewal of Woodland Star’s five-year charter, and the approval of a new playground at Sassarini, among other topics. The next Regular Board Meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 4, at the Sonoma City Council Chambers — and as always, the public is welcome to attend.
