What is shaping this two-school district?

Fiscal recovery and bond construction are moving together

Sebastopol Union Elementary's elected board governs Park Side Elementary and Brook Haven Middle. During the reviewed year it advanced bond-financed campus projects while also adopting a fiscal recovery plan that assumes future staffing reductions.

Two district schools

The board's decisions directly cover Park Side and Brook Haven; it also receives reports from the separately organized Sebastopol Independent Charter School.

Fiscal recovery is approved

May minutes record approval of the district plan and related reduction resolutions; the June budget assumes three fewer certificated FTE in 2027-28.

Campus construction is under way

The board approved bond issuance and Wright Contracting lease-leaseback agreements for Park Side and Brook Haven projects.

Daily rules changed

The board adopted an updated mobile-device policy in December 2025.

The official packets establish adopted plans and future assumptions, but they do not quantify every affected position or isolate the full project cost for each campus.
