The results of the Marin Municipal Water District's (MMWD) Cultural Studies investigation for the mainline replacement project on Lomita Avenue showed that further careful excavation is needed. MMWD will excavate a 30-foot trench at the Lomita /Lomita intersection in front of our school. It expects to start the archaeological work on May 28 and complete it on June 1. Traffic controls will be in place during the excavation.
The full mainline project will begin at Shell Road on June 18. If you have questions or concerns about this project, please contact Kevin McDonnell, Senior Engineer, Marin Municipal Water District at 945-1576.
The School Board voted unanimously to place a $196.00 parcel tax on the November, 2012 ballot. The parcel tax will bring in approximately 1.9 million dollars per year for the next eight years. Faced with over three million dollars of state budget cuts in the last three years, the District has employed a "Shared Sacrifices, Shared Solutions" model this year and has been successful in trimming costs and increasing revenue. The parcel tax is one piece of the solution that also includes increased contributions from Kiddo! and PTAs; negotiations with teachers; and budget cuts at the district level.
We are lucky to live in a town where education is valued and where administration, teachers, parents and Kiddo! are working together to keep Mill Valley schools exceptional. See the Mill Valley Patch article for more information about the upcoming parcel tax.
We need your gently used soccer balls, footballs and basketballs! It's spring-cleaning time, and if you've got excess athletic equipment cluttering your garage, this is the perfect chance to get rid of it. Donations can be dropped off in the box in front of the office. Questions? Contact Karen Carr at karenmuntercarr@yahoo.com.
