Leggett Valley Unified School District

LEGGETT SCHOOL STATE PRESCHOOL 2024 ENROLLMENT AGES 2-5

Dear Leggett Valley Unified School District Community, Superintendent Sierra Lahera is currently on a leave of absence. Joanie Potter has agreed to serve as interim superintendent immediately, supporting staff and helping us as we prepare for the start of the school year. Joanie retired from Laytonville Unified School District in 2022 after serving the district for 39 years in various roles, including superintendent. She also served as the LVUSD interim superintendent in the Spring of 2023. On Thursday, August 1, 2024, in a Special Board Meeting of the Leggett Valley Unified School District, board members accepted public comment and discussed possible ways to get students back to school on the Whale Gulch School campus. As a result of the meeting and a unified desire to welcome students back to Whale Gulch School, the board directed district staff to explore insurance options further. Additionally, they instructed staff to devise a plan to open with an alternative learning program that would allow Whale Gulch students to start instruction as planned on August 19 while district staff simultaneously troubleshoot the insurance issue and check out building access options, including the possibility of placing pre-approved DSA buildings on campus. As a next step, Joanie Potter and district staff will work with the Whale Gulch school community as we move forward. Please feel free to reach out if you need assistance or to talk to someone about your concerns. Joanie Potter may be reached via email, joaniepotter@leggett.k12.ca.us or by calling the district office at 707 925-6285. Your school board maintains its commitment to serving the Leggett Valley Unified School District students and families. Sincerely, Jessica Roemer and Jennifer Parent Jessica Roemer, LVUSD Board President and Jennifer Parent, LVUSD Board Member

Dear Panther Families, Thank you for your continued patience with our transportation challenges. Here are some updates: First, it looks like the south bus will not run for the remainder of the school year. A van will go out to the furthest stops, Bell Springs, Laytonville, and Cummings in the mornings and the afternoons. If this changes, we will let you know. Second, the north bus will continue to run with the exception of this Friday, May 17. There will be no transportation to and from Leggett Valley School from Redway, Garberville, Piercy, and other north stops this Friday. Ruby is covering the school office for the remainder of the school year and will be calling parents to try to help organize a carpool. Please call the school office to connect with Ruby if you are able to help. Lastly, we are working on getting more drivers trained to try to help avoid this situation in the future. If you or anyone you know is interested in being trained to drive a bus, please call Korina at the District Office. Getting kids to and from school is a top priority and we are so grateful for your patience. Have a wonderful day.
