Ross Valley Charter highlights anti‑bullying plan, steady enrollment and fiscal update
Summary
The Ross Valley Charter School director told the Marin County Board the school is strengthening social‑emotional learning, updated its anti‑bullying pledge with families, reported steady enrollment (~197 students) and said updated financial information will be presented to MCOE showing a projected loss for the year.
Paige, director of Ross Valley Charter School, gave the school's annual update to the Marin County Board of Education, describing family‑driven revisions to the school's code of conduct and an updated anti‑bullying pledge.
"We have some social emotional focus areas" and collaborated with families to develop the pledge, Paige said, noting the school emphasizes communication loops with parents to support student safety and learning. She said the school has prioritized intervention for emergent bilingual students (20–30% of students in a typical year) and is doing targeted test prep for the upcoming CAST tests in May.
Paige reported current enrollment at about 197 students and said the school had applied for and received an employer retention credit of about $70,000 in December 2023. She noted there was a projected operating loss for the year that district finance staff would present at a future meeting; trustees asked follow‑up questions about the projected loss and staffing.
