Kentfield School District News
Dear Kentfield School Community,
I invite you to attend the next regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 beginning at 5 p.m. As a reference, here is a link to the agenda. The meeting will address items including, but not limited to:
- Educational Showcase highlighting collaboration between 8th grade English and the Kent Library
- General District Wide Updates
- Return to School and COVID-19 Updates
- Emergency Preparedness
- Facilities–Deferred Maintenance Projects
The Board of Trustees will participate in the meeting in-person at the Kent Middle School library. In order to not have a large congregation of the public, we are inviting attendees to join the meeting via Zoom Webinar.

Take good care,
Raquel Rose
