What this document actually says

Policy 7131: Relations With Local Agencies (Last revised April 14, 2026)

This policy requires the Reed Union School District to work with local government agencies—including city planners, county officials, and park/recreation departments—when planning, building, or expanding school facilities. The district must:

  • Coordinate with park authorities when building new schools or major additions
  • Monitor housing developments to assess their impact on school capacity
  • Notify city/county when overcrowding exists and request adequate school facilities be included in city plans
  • Share information about school facility plans with local planning agencies
  • Ensure any district property used for workforce housing meets state requirements

The policy recognizes that new housing developments bring more students, which may cause overcrowding. The Board can formally notify the city/county when overcrowding impairs educational programs and request mitigation measures.

What this means for your family

This policy helps ensure your child's school won't become overcrowded when new housing is built in Tiburon. The district monitors development projects and works with city planners to request adequate school facilities before approving new neighborhoods. If schools become too crowded to function properly, the Board can formally demand the city address the problem. This coordination helps maintain smaller class sizes and quality facilities as the community grows.
