The California Board of Educated voted unanimously Wednesday to keep the sprawling Mt. Diablo Unified School District intact, avoiding the creation a smaller school district in Eastern Walnut Creek.
The California Board of Educated voted unanimously Wednesday to keep the sprawling Mt. Diablo Unified School District intact, avoiding the creation a smaller school district in eastern Walnut Creek.
But the petition sparked concerns of isolating one of the most affluent and lease diverse communities. In the state’s hearing, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Education, said the plan garnered national media coverage due to its "undertones of racial and socioeconomic segregation." The CDE also said the proposal failed to meet required legal criteria and offered no compelling reasons to create a new district.
The Mt. Diablo Unified School District strongly opposed the succession attempt, citing the CDE staff recommendation. Meg Honey, a teacher at Northgate High School, said she was thrilled with the decision. She was one of the speakers for the district during the state hearing.
