Good Morning Kelly Thomas & Phil Pamatmat,
Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the difficult decision being addressed by the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District and Superintendent Vrankovick. Sonoma County has a total of 40 individual school districts serving over 71,200 K-12 students at 177 local school sites. For the past 4 years, over half of the districts, including Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified, have experienced a decline in their student enrollment. Since school finance is dependent upon revenues generated by student enrollment/attendance, local school boards and superintendents have had to make strategic decisions regarding the cost of operating multiple school sites.You are probably aware of on-going countywide discussion on the need forexploring some type of school district re-organization, consolidation and/or unification.The County Superintendent of Schools and the County Board of Education has no legal purview over the authority of local governing boards regarding budget and operational decisions. This matter resides with the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District Board of Education and Office of Superintendent Vrankovick.
Sincerely,Carl Wong, Ed. D.
