What this document actually says

This policy outlines how Reed Union School District coordinates with local government agencies (cities, counties, parks and recreation) when planning, designing, and building new schools or major additions. The district must meet with recreation and park authorities when planning new facilities. The superintendent monitors land development proposals to ensure new housing projects don't overcrowd schools without providing adequate school facilities. If overcrowding occurs, the Board can formally notify city/county officials and require developers to pay fees to help build new schools. The policy was originally adopted September 16, 2019, last revised September 13, 2022, and will be reviewed again March 10, 2026.

What this means for your family

This policy helps ensure that when new homes are built in Tiburon, developers contribute fees toward building new schools or classrooms so existing schools don't become overcrowded. It means the district actively works with city planners to anticipate growth and plan for adequate school facilities before new students arrive, protecting your child's learning environment from overcrowding.
