One of the great things about living in California is the abundance of protected outdoor space and state parks. Due to the California budget crisis, Govener Schwarzenegger has proposed to cut almost 80% of the California State Parks. 220 out of the states 279 parks are on the chopping block including Angel Island State Park! View the full list of proposed California State Parks to be closed here.

I am so excited to see construction has finally started on the Larkspur Trader Joe’s grocery store. The Marin IJ reports that the store is set to open in August.
The store will be located in the Cost Plus Plaza in Larkspur just off the 101 freeway. Yippee!
For Southern Marin Trader Joe’s fans, this will be a welcome change from fighting the traffic to San Rafael.
Can’t wait!

The Academic Performance Index (API) scores for Marin County have been released. A score of 800 is the state’s standard for Academic Achievement. The Marin IJ reports that 1/3 of Marin schools score at 800 or higher. 15 Marin schools scored 900+, down from 18 Marin schools last year. According to the IJ,
Tiburon’s Bel Aire Elementary School received Marin’s highest score with 947. Other top-scoring schools included Kentfield’s Anthony G. Bacich Elementary, Larkspur’s Hall Middle School, Mill Valley’s Tamalpais Valley Elementary School and Tiburon’s Del Mar Middle School, whose API score jumped 19 points from 914 to 933.
Many of Marin’s schools could not be scored because they now teach kids in grades K-8, which are not comparable on the state’s scoring system.
Visit the Marin IJ for the full story.

As you may know, I am a board member at the Kentfield Schools Foundation. I am sitting in a hotel in Chicago and got an email from a fellow board member directing me to a letter to the parents in the school district. Even if you do not have kids in the Kentfield School District, the budget cuts to the school to the school still impact you. Part of the reason the property values in Kentfield and Greenbrae have not been hit as hard as other locations is because of our every very, very strong schools.
In May 2009, the average sales price in Greenbrae is down 18.4% over May of last year. In Kentfield, it was down 12.6%. In the same time period, home prices in neighboring San Anselmo were down 47.4%.

Families in our district pay a premium for homes to be in this fantastic and unique school district. It is exactly why I purchased my home in Greenbrae when I was pregnant with my daughter. The programs that make these schools strong are in jeopardy. In a letter on the Kentfield School District’s website, Kentfield Schools Foundation President Marita Daly says this:
The weak economy has created budget constraints beyond our District’s control. As enrollment continues to rise and funding shrinks, the enriched education we have provided for years is at risk. Our District has already made many budget cuts, which are listed on the District website. The Board of Trustees needs another $1.5 million in revenue to fund current programs that are integral to our schools and dear to our hearts. The state reduces its funding by the hour, so this number will certainly change.
We are asking that every family respond to make sure we are very clear about what you value, so that the Foundation may properly represent you. The future of our schools lies in our hands.
If you would like to make a donation to minimize the impact of these budget cuts on our schools and our community, you may make your donation here.
