Episode One: Introduction
Episode Two: Mill Valley Middle School Modernization
Episode Three: School Assignment and Class Placement
Introducing “Inside the District” – Making school decisions make sense—for busy families.
In our first episode, we introduced Inside the District, a new podcast created to help busy families stay connected and informed about the decisions shaping our schools. We’re committed to breaking down complex topics into clear, meaningful conversations, without jargon or fluff.
This week we are sharing two episodes - one on our middle school modernization and one on school assignment and class placement practices.
Episode Two: In this episode, we focused on the Middle School Modernization Project, a major effort to reimagine and improve the learning environment for our middle school students. While originally envisioned as a rebuild of our almost 60-year old middle school, the project has turned out to be far more complex than anticipated, with multiple factors significantly impacting the project’s scope and timeline. In this episode, we unpack what’s happening, why it’s more complicated than expected, and what the district is doing to move forward responsibly.
We will address some of the challenges, the continued goals, and the options available ahead of us. Whether you have a child in middle school now or in the coming years, this episode offers an important look at how we're investing in the future, despite the hurdles.
Episode Three: We’ll explore a topic that affects every family in the district: how students are placed in schools and in classes.
From enrollment priorities and the role of a family’s home address, to how class groups are formed each year, we’ll walk through the policies, the process, and the people involved—so families can better understand how these important decisions are made.
Stay informed. Be empowered. Help shape the future of our schools, one episode at a time.
