New understanding is needed at Ross Valley School District about the budget situation and special education in particular, its superintendent said this week.
“I will never discuss special education as the cause of our budget problems,” Tyler Graff told about 45 parents, teachers and board members at a forum Wednesday. “The cause of our budget problems is that we have the lowest ADA in Marin County.”
ADA refers to average daily attendance, the marker the state uses to distribute per-student subsidies.
