Dear RUSD Community,
On Thursday, October 27th some East Corte Madera residents submitted a territory transfer petition to the County Superintendent. This petition would redraw the boundary lines for a large section of East Corte Madera. This would redistrict these neighborhoods from Reed Union School District to Larkspur Corte Madera School District. Mary Jane Burke with the Marin County Office of Education will forward the territory transfer petition to the elections office. Signatures need to be validated in 30 days. If you signed the petition understanding that this redraws the line for all families, then we respect your opinion as a citizen of East Corte Madera. I have heard from a number of residents that they signed the petition based on misunderstanding. If that is the case for you, you should contact Mary Jane Burke at superintendentsoffice@marinschools.org and Terena Mares at tmares@marinschools.org if you are interested in removing your name from the petition. If 25% of the signatures from the impacted territory are valid, the redistricting process will continue. One of the first steps will be public hearings that will take place in both school districts. I will stay in touch on this topic as additional information is provided.
Best regards,
Dr. Kimberly McGrath
Superintendent
Reed Union School District
"We are even stronger together!"
