SUPERINTENDENT'S LETTER TO COMMUNITY REGARDING PENDING BUDGET REDUCTIONS
California funding for education is in disarray. California's severe economic crisis has forced the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District to cut $8M from this year's budget. Next year we must cut $8.8M more to remain solvent and in local control. These reductions are way beyond what our students should have to endure and are in addition to last year's cuts of $5.2M. Despite claims that next year's state budget "protects" education, it includes an additional ongoing cut of $201 per K-12 student in Livermore. This results in an additional $3M loss in revenue for our District next year and into the foreseeable future.  To balance the Livermore School District budget for next year will require cutting more programs, services and once again increasing class size.  Click HERE to read the entire letter.  Click HERE to download the Powerpoint slides used at recent public forums describing the State's financial crisis and the impact on our District.  Both documents are in PDF format.

NEW PRINCIPAL ASSIGNMENTS 2010-2011
Current Portola principal, Jamal Fields will take the helm as the newly appointed principal of the District's K-8 21st Century School, which merges Portola and Junction school communities onto one campus beginning with the 2010-11 school year.  Current JAMS principal, Susan Sambuceti, will retain a site administrative position in our District for the 2010-11 school year, thus ensuring that students in Livermore will continue to benefit from her leadership. We wish both of them the best during this time of transition.
