MEASURE E BOND
To provide students with the best possible access to a secure learning environment, Kentfield School District has voted to place a local bond measure, Measure E, on the November 5, 2024 ballot. KSD has worked with school facility experts, architects and engineers to assess the condition of all school facilities and identify needed repairs and improvements. Needs include addressing aging plumbing, leaky roofs and deteriorating bathrooms, and fencing and security improvements. The State does not provide dedicated funding for facility repairs, meaning school improvements need a source of local funding. Measure E funds would be for Bacich Elementary and Kent Middle Schools only, and could not be used for any purposes other than facility upgrades.
FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH APPLICATION
Although we have implemented a universal meal program, it is still important that qualified families complete the KSD Free and Reduced Lunch application, as it may provide benefits to the district and family, including:
- State and Federal Funding for School Budgets
- Access to P-EBT Eligibility
- Suggested school supplies, yearbook at no cost, etc.
