County Committe Denies Walnut Creek Transfer

The County Committee has denied the transfer of the Walnut Creek Schools from the Mt. Diablo School District into the Walnut Creek School District and Acalanes High School District. All three school districts had denied the proposal and claimed the process would be difficult and costly. The County Committee suggested a new 25% petition would be a more appealing alternative. Mr. McHenry and Ms. Treece represented MDUSD at the hearing. They claimed that Mt. Diablo was providing an excellent education to the students of Walnut Creek. Mr. McHenry was quick to point out the he does not measure the success of a district on test scores but on graduation rates. How low has that bar been set? No news on what Walnut Creek Schools Together Now will do next.
