Summary
Superintendent John Carroll said four students from Archie Williams High School died and two were seriously injured in an April 18 auto crash; county staff mobilized more than 60 mental‑health providers and substitute teachers to support affected schools.
Superintendent John Carroll told trustees that on April 18 a car crash near his home killed four students from Archie Williams High School and severely injured two others, and he thanked Marin County Office of Education staff who mobilized an immediate response. "Within a few hours, the entire team was mobilized and was able to provide support, mental‑health support, and substitute teaching support for staff members who were struggling," Carroll said.
Dr. Lisa Miller (S13) said the county organized more than 60 mental‑health providers and substitute teachers to support the districts and described the response as countywide collaboration. "When a crisis of this magnitude happens, you... show up from a place of care," she said. Trustees praised the rapid response and staff support; the board did not take additional action during the meeting but acknowledged ongoing assistance to the schools.
