KSD News
Dear KSD Community,
Thank you to everyone who joined the KSD to honor our KSD Retirees, Golden Bell recipients, volunteers, and our transiting staff during our special recognition ceremony before the board meeting yesterday afternoon. It was a celebration of our school community where appreciation and positive accolades were provided to those who have given so much to the KSD community.
Following the event we held a Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees, where reports were provided related to KSD Special Education Services, the proposed Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), and the Proposed KSD Budget for the 2023-2024 school year. The Board held public hearings for these proposed plans and intends to consider approval at our June 13th meeting of the Board of Trustees.
Take good care,
Raquel Rose

California Universal Meals Program
The Kentfield School District (KSD) is excited to announce California Universal Meals Program partnership with the Reed Union School District and Ross School District for the 2023-2024 school year. The Reed Union School District will be the KSD’s school food authorizer supporting the implementation and compliance of the Universal School Meals program. This shared service partnership will support operation efficiencies and program expenditures through sharing vendors and reporting requirements. Our site teams are working through operational shifts, staffing and volunteer needs to ensure our universal food program runs smoothly while providing our students with the necessary nutritional services to support their access to daily learning.
Additional details about our food vendor, volunteer opportunities and program services will be provided prior to the end of the school year and in the summer months as we prepare for the new school year.

COVID Update
The latest COVID-19 subvariant, XXB.1.16, is increasing in the U.S. according to estimates from the CDC. It has been most documented in India but has been found in 29 countries, according to the WHO. This new subvariant is producing a new symptom: conjunctivitis (pink eye), especially in children.
MCPH is recommending COVID-19 testing for students who present with pink eye. Guidance will be updated to reflect this change.
California Department of Public Health encourages all students and staff to test for COVID-19 IF they feel sick, AFTER exposure, travel, or large gatherings, and BEFORE events or visiting high-risk people.
Please know that our school offices have COVID tests available if needed. Thank you for your support.
Please reference this exposure notice for symptoms, communicability, and prevention information. (English I Spanish).
Please keep your child home if they are sick. Please contact our school nurse Laurel Yrun (lyrun@kentfieldschools.org), with any questions about navigating illness and school this year.
