New 'DayLighting' Law

Did you know that a new ‘daylighting’ law went into effect on January 1st? Drivers are now required to leave a 20-foot buffer zone between their parked car and any marked or unmarked crosswalk. The purpose of ‘daylighting’ is to create a clear line of sight for motorists approaching a crosswalk, thus making the crosswalk safer for pedestrians.

Since crosswalks near schools can be especially crowded during school hours, we ask that you please spread the word about this important new law. Help keep our students and community safe!

SRVUSD is moving forward on Local Funding Ballot Measures

The first measure (Measure E) will renew the existing parcel tax that will expire in June 2025 for an additional 9- year term. It will be the same rate of $144/parcel/year as the current parcel tax, with annual CPI adjustments. The funds will continue to be used for the same purposes, as shown in this figure. 

The second measure (Measure F) will preserve the systems of support for students that were put in place with one-time state funds that will be exhausted in 2025. These funds were provided to address the impact of the pandemic on student learning and mental health. In SRVUSD, these funds were used to develop a system of academic and social-emotional support at each of our sites which was long needed and now has grown to be an invaluable resource for all students. The additional assessment would be for 9 years at a rate of $98/parcel/year and would be used to help to preserve this system of support so that all our students may thrive. 

Each of the measures include strict accountability provisions - None of the funds from the measures could be used for administrators’ salaries 

and an Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee and mandatory annual audits would ensure all funds are spent as promised. 

All funds would be controlled locally and could not be taken by the State.

Our PTA and Ed Fund have voted to endorse both measures and support the SRV Citizens for Quality Schools Campaign to pass them.

Board Resolutions for March

Women’s History Month

San Ramon Valley Unified School District recognizes the month of March as Women’s History Month. Women of every race and ethnic background have contributed to our country’s triumphs and accomplishments in countless ways and continue to play critical roles in the economic, cultural, and social spheres of our nation. Women of diverse backgrounds have served as leaders at the forefront of every major progressive social change movement and although their efforts have been overlooked or undervalued in the past, they hold an important place in the body of American and world history.

Arts Education Month

San Ramon Valley Unified School District recognizes the month of March as Arts Education Month. Education in the arts is an indispensable part of basic education for all students to enhance their understanding of the world and to develop to their full potential. Instruction in the arts helps children foster creativity, self-expression, and discipline. The arts are also important repositories of culture and experience. SRVUSD is proud to focus on the value of arts education, especially during the month of March.

Prescription Drug Abuse Awareness Month

San Ramon Valley Unified School District recognizes the month of March as Prescription Drug Abuse Awareness Month. Prescription medications such as stimulants, sedatives, and opioids hold powerful medical benefits however can have serious consequences and additive risks. Overdoses are on the rise in our community, county and nation.
