Marin Voice: Ross Valley’s investment in public education matters 

Public education is often referred to as the great equalizer. But in California today, the quality of a child’s education increasingly depends not just on state funding formulas, but on the willingness of local communities to invest in their schools.

For Ross Valley, this reality is impossible to ignore.

Our district ranks 959th out of 995 districts in California for state funding. In simple terms, we are among the least-funded districts in the state when it comes to public dollars.
