Learn More About School District's Boundary Study
The NUSD Facilities Planning Committee met Dec. 15 and discussed a presentation about the future of our schools.
Things are moving along with plans to balance out Novato public schools as much as possible when considering criteria such as enrollment sizes, socioeconomic status, racial mix and even communing distances.
The ’s Facilities Planning Committee heard a presentation from Jack Schreder & Associates on Dec. 15, laying out all sorts of data to be considered for a major study. It included declining birth rates, declining school enrollment — both for public schools and private schools. The committee requested more information on enrollment rates for St. Vincent de Paul High School in Petaluma and Sonoma Academy in Santa Rosa, two private schools believed to have increasing enrollments of Novato students.
