"We understand how difficult and challenging this process is for our entire community. School closures are an action of last resort, that we take very seriously," Franklin told San José Spotlight. "The district remains committed to supporting our Berryessa community throughout this transition."
The Berryessa consolidation committee will share its findings with the board of trustees at a special board meeting on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Piedmont Middle School. The board will listen to public comment and review the options.
California public schools have experienced declining enrollment due to low birth rates, higher cost of living, and families moving out of the area or state. The district has to balance the budget and provide a well-rounded education for all students, Franklin added.
