Project Info

Title

Camarillo Unified School District Organization

Description

The project consists of a proposal to form the Camarillo USD from the total territory of the Pleasant Valley and Somis SDs and a portion of the territory of the Oxnard UHSD pursuant to the State of California Education Code. The portion of the Oxnard UHSD that is proposed to be included in the newly formed Camarillo USD is the portion of the district that is coterminous with the existing boundaries of the Pleasant Valley and Somis SDs. As a result of the formation of the Camarillo USD, the Pleasant Valley SD and a portion of the Oxnard UHSD would be unified into a coterminous district supporting Kindergarten (K) through 12th grade education. The Somis SD territory would also beocme part of the newly created K-12 Camarillo SD, thus allowing it to send its students that have completed the 8th grade into the Camarillo USD high schools. However, the Somis SD will retain its own grade K-8 governance structure under the provisions of Education Code Section 35542(b) enacted as a part of the Thompson Bill (SB 1537) in 1994.
