Parent cites childcare, counseling supports as county board approves transfer for Kayla Romero
Summary
Kayla's parent told trustees the child's babysitter, counseling and friendships are tied to her current Santa Rita school; the board approved the interdistrict transfer request so Kayla may remain at McKinnon/McKinney (named in record).
A parent appealing for her daughter Kayla said the child had been in the Santa Rita district since kindergarten and that childcare arrangements — including a longtime babysitter who lives near the school — made a transfer disruptive. "Kayla has been in Santa Rita District since kindergarten," the parent said, describing counseling services and close relationships with teachers and other students.
Salinas City representatives replied that the request did not meet the criteria the district is applying for interdistrict approvals and that the family's residence is within walking distance of the assigned school. The district also noted plans to explore additional before-school options for families in the future.
Trustees moved to allow student 252640 to attend the Santa Rita Union School District through the highest grade offered; the motion carried. Staff will notify parties and record the board's decision.
