School Consolidation Advisory Committee
The Berryessa Union School District (BUSD) Budget Stabilization Committee was established in 2023 to recommend to the Board of Trustees (Board) a plan for six (6) million dollars of reductions. One of the recommendations was school consolidation.
On December 6, 2023, at a special meeting, the Board agreed to move forward with the process of establishing a School Consolidation Advisory Committee. The committee’s role is to review and analyze the school sites within the District and determine which might be closed and/or consolidated as it will not be needed for school purposes. The committee will then present a report to the Board recommending school sites for school closure and/or consolidation. This is an important task and the District is looking for highly-qualified, capable, and committed individuals to be members of the committee.
It is anticipated that the committee’s report will be provided to the Board at its October 16, 2024 Board meeting.
