Keep RVSD Schools Open


Measure H ensures our neighborhood schools stay locally funded, locally run, and open.

What's at stake

A Vote Yes Keeps Neighborhood Schools Open — and locally run.

If Measure H does not pass, the district will be forced to make significant budget cuts that will forever change our schools, and our community.

Potential cuts include:

Closure of two elementary schools
Loss of local control — state receivership of the district
Significant cuts to the core academic programs

    Ross Valley Schools

    RVSD receives the lowest per pupil state funding in Marin county — ranking in the bottom 4% statewide  (959th out of 995 districts) — yet,  RVSD students consistently outperform county and state averages across every subject. This is because the parcel tax supplements the district needs.
