Facility Master Plan

On February 2, 2022 the Mill Valley Board of Trustees approved a Facility Master Plan that will guide the development and improvement of district facilities for the next ten years.  At the Board Meeting prior to the plan's approval, the district provided a detailed presentation on the proposed plan, which included a description of the plan development process and initial project lists for each district site.

Measure G

On February 10, 2022, the Board adopted Resolution No. 12-21/22 ordering a school bond election and authorizing the necessary actions to place a bond measure on the June 2022 ballot (“Measure G”).   Measure G was placed on the ballot for the June 7, 2022, primary election.  Based on the total number of votes cast, over two-thirds of the votes were in favor of Measure G and the District Board of Trustees passed Resolution 04-22/23 declaring Measure G approved at its meeting on September 15, 2022.  Also at this meeting, the Board approved Resolution 02-22/23 authorizing the establishment of a Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC).  The District will appoint the committee at the November 2022 board meeting.
