Thank you for the encapsulation of a pressure cooker problem in this series.The reporting is helpful and well assembled. The issues are complicated by so many factors, declining school age population, inflation, funding declines, a diverse student population with a wide range of needs and preferences and personal opinions about the different schools and districts. Our school districts seem segmented, mostly working from their different silos. I hope the leadership from each district is meeting with and looking for ways to serve all districts in Sonoma County. If they are not it, might be a time to bring everyone to the table to negotiate some solutions.
Most the transfers seem to be for a better educational options and a better learning environment. The Santa Rosa City Schools Board of Education big debate last year was whether to allow resource officers on campus. No parent would want their kid to deal with that nonsense when there are options.

How do the transfer rules effect the Academy for innovative arts and other similar small schools?
