Dear Parents, We are writing to address some of the concerns expressed by parents in the past few weeks. As elected representatives of the community, the Board of Trustees is entrusted with making many policy, financial, business and personnel decisions for the Larkspur School District. When making decisions, a board must act responsibly and thoughtfully consider all the information.
Issues often have numerous sides or perspectives which can make decisions very difficult.
We want you to know that these are not tasks that we as trustees take lightly. Rather we take them quite seriously and consider them with a great deal of care. We regret the upsetting impact caused by some of these difficult decisions. While we work hard to balance the many demands and requirements made on the administration of a school district, sometimes all the decision making criteria is not clear to the community. It is especially difficult, such as in recent personnel decisions, when we are prevented by law from sharing all of the information with our community.
