On June 10, 2019, the SRCS Board of Education voted unanimously to appoint Jim Hogeboom as SRCS' next Superintendent, beginning July 1, 2019. Mr. Hogeboom's appointment follows an extensive search, which brought an excellent field of 24 highly-qualified candidates, including 12 superintendents. The Board's decision is a reflection of input gathered from key stakeholder groups in the District regarding the qualities desired in SRCS' next leader.

We need your input! Join us and share your feedback as we discuss the future of SRCS' trustee-area elections.

SRCS is switching to by-trustee area elections. Beginning in 2020, the SRCS Board of Education will be elected based on trustee areas, rather than having all registered voters vote for all five Board members. The change is being implemented to comply with the California Voting Rights Act. 

The Board is undertaking a mapping process to define the trustee areas. To avoid litigation, SRCS must complete the process by Sept. 11, 2019.

There is a series of upcoming Public Hearings and Community Forums - the public is welcome and encouraged to attend! Community members are also able to create their own maps via map-drawing tools.

The schools being identified for EV stations include: Terra Linda High School; San Rafael High School; Madrone Continuation High School; Davidson Middle School; and Glenwood, Bahia Vista, Coleman, Sun Valley and San Pedro elementary schools.
