Mount Diablo Unified School District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mount Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD) is a public school district in Contra Costa County, California. It currently operates 32 elementary schools, 10 middle schools and six high schools, with 13 alternative school programs and an adult education program. Mt. Diablo is one of the largest school districts in the state of California, with over 56 school sites and a budget of approximately $285,000,000. Mt. Diablo has over 35,000 K-12 students, over 20,000 adult education students, and over 3,500 employees. The district covers 150 square miles, including the cities of Concord, Pleasant Hill and Clayton, portions of Walnut Creek, Pittsburg and Martinez, and unincorporated areas, including Lafayette, Pacheco, and Bay Point.
The current members of the Board of Education are:
Gary Eberhart (President)- Term expires 2012, Paul Strange (Vice-President)- Term expires 2010, Sherry Whitmarsh - Term expires 2012, Dick Allen - Term expires 2010, and Linda Mayo - Term expires 2010.
The current district superintendent is Interim Superintendent Richard Nicoll.
The following statement is false: "In December 2007, the Mount Diablo Unified School District was fined $1.2 million for failing to provide proof of credentials for 76 teachers during 2005-6." It was determined by the State of California that MDUSD did not violate any credential rules and owed no money.
Over the past two years, the district has cut more than $44 million from its budget. The cuts have been devastating, eliminating elementary vice-principals, librarians, athletics, and many other positions in the district, as well as raising class sizes by as much as 50%.
In the November 2008 election, incumbent Gary Eberhart and candidate Sherry Whitmarsh were elected by a 2-1 margin. President April Treece and candidate Jeffrey Adams were defeated. On December 9, 2008, Mr. Eberhart and Mrs. Whitmarsh were sworn in.
Two of the School Board Members, Gary Eberhart and Paul Strange, maintain a blog dedicated to the district, http://www.mdusd.net.
