The Pajaro Valley Unified School District held a Sustainable Schools Advisory meeting on September 1, 2026, focused on reviewing and discussing optimal elementary school program models and boundary scenarios. The meeting involved detailed presentations of enrollment projections, classroom capacities, and four different boundary planning scenarios (A through D) that prioritized factors such as neighborhood access, facility condition, feeder pattern coherence, and community stability. The advisory group examined data on school capacities, special education populations, and English language learner considerations to inform potential school consolidations and boundary adjustments. While no formal decisions or contract awards were made, the discussion highlighted the need for further data refinement, community input, and consideration of facility investments to support any future changes. The group planned to finalize recommendations by mid-September and continue engagement through surveys and town halls, emphasizing the importance of transparency and stakeholder involvement in the process.
