E-Bikes for Miller Creek School District Navigating the world of electric bikes and scooters can be confusing, especially when it comes to determining the legal age for children to ride them in California. With a variety of these electric vehicles on the market, it’s important for parents to be informed before allowing their children to hop on and start riding. California law requires electric scooter riders to be at least 16 years old and have a valid driver’s license or instruction permit. Additionally, riders must wear a helmet meeting federal standard, and scooters must not exceed a maximum speed of 15 mph on level ground . Bicycle Registration Beginning with the 204-25 School Year, Miller Creek Middle School will institute a registration process for students who want to ride electric bikes to school.  It will include safety information, including facts about properly fitted helmets and road safety. Look for more information on how to register in August. Allowed Types of Electric Bicycles Only Class 1 and Class 2 electric bikes are allowed for our students who are under 16 years of age.  We cannot allow students to ride any illegal bicycle to or from school. California Vehicle Code defines electric bicycles in three classes: Class 1:  Low-Speed Pedal-Assisted Electric Bikes  The Class 1 e-bike engine can only supply power up to 20 mph. Class 2:  Low-Speed Throttle-Assisted Electric Bikes These low-speed throttle-assisted bicycle motors are also limited to 20 mph.  *Note: These bikes could become illegal for young riders in the coming months or year.  Class 3:  Are those with an allowed top-assisted speed of 28 mph.  Class 3 e-bikes are required to have a speedometer and riders of Class 3 e-bikes must also be at least 16 years old and are required to wear a helmet.  Students in the Miller Creek School District are not old enough to legally ride Class 3 bikes. Electric Motorbikes Two-wheel electric bikes with a motor larger than 750 Watts and/or have a motor that works above 20 mph are considered Electric Motorcycles and require a Driver’s license.  Resources Here  is a presentation provided by Miller Creek Assistant Principal, Nick Miller, to the school board and community on Tuesday 6/11 which reviews current CA legislation, different classes of e-bikes, and information about the updated school procedures for electric bikes. Here  is a presentation provided by Safe Routes to School to 6th and 7th grade students in late May that reviews similar information.  Summer Registration While our school offices are closed for the summer, registration packets and assistance are available at the District Office, located at 380 Nova Albion Way. Bilingual assistance is available per the following schedule: Wednesday, July 10        3pm - 6pm Friday, July 12                  8am - 11am Monday, July 15               8am - 11am Wednesday, July 17         3pm - 6pm Friday, July 19                  8am - 11am Monday, July 22              8am - 11am Wednesday, July 24        3pm - 6pm Friday, July 26                 8am - 11am Monday, July 29              8am - 11am Wednesday, July 31        3pm - 6pm Friday, August 2              8am - 11am   Monday, August 5           8am - 11am Wednesday, August 7     3pm - 6pm Friday, August 9              8am - 11am Before registering your new student, please confirm that your home address is within the Miller Creek School District boundaries and the home school for your neighborhood by reviewing the Miller Creek School  District Boundaries Street Grid , or finding your home address in the following drop-down menu on our website at  this link .  Miller Creek School District www.millercreeksd.org

  • 2.15.24 Budget Adjustment Information & Process

    Dear Miller Creek Community, You may be aware that the Miller Creek School District is in the process of making necessary budgetary adjustments. During recent visits to schools and meetings with staff members and families, we have been asked how people can become more involved in the district’s discussions during this process. The purpose of this message is to share information about the process as well as provide information about how community members can follow and engage in the process.  The district remains in a positive financial position for the current and following year. To keep the district financially sound, the school board identified the need for a budget adjustment of $1.2 million over the next two years. This adjustment is primarily needed because we have spent down the one-time dollars that were provided to respond to the disruption caused by COVID. In spite of Miller Creek School District’s last place ranking, in terms of per student revenue in Marin County, the district continues to prioritize the needs of students as stated in the  district’s goals . The district’s funding levels are a result of how revenues are calculated by the state’s funding formula for schools and in large part are beyond the control of the district. Fortunately, our community has voted to provide additional school funding through local parcel taxes, plus we have fantastic community support from Can Do!, which generates additional revenue and makes an incredible difference in achieving the district’s priorities for students. For additional detail, see our December  Budget Newsletter . In order to proactively avoid a financial crisis, which would occur if the district did not make necessary budget adjustments, a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and Budget Committee was established. This combined Committee has been tasked with engaging in a process of formulating recommendations for the board to consider in addressing the identified $1.2 million in budget adjustments. Since December, the committee has been in full motion which includes a diverse group of voices engaged in learning about the District’s budget and programs and talking through ideas, with the end goal of making budget adjustment recommendations to the board. The committee is a dedicated and thoughtful group of people that represent the community, district families, employee groups, and administrators.  Discussions about budget adjustments can be challenging; nearly every adjustment will have some degree of impact on students and staff. This process can leave families and staff feeling worried about programs for students and employment for staff. Consequently, committee discussions include identifying “barriers” and “consequences” to every considered recommendation.  For those interested in learning more about our district budget, you can watch a recording of a January Budget webinar by clicking  here . Additionally, all resources and information provided to the LCAP/Budget Committee are available to the public on the district website or can be found by clicking  here . You can support this process in a number of ways. You can  donate  to Can Do! which increases the local revenue that our schools receive. You can attend Home and School Club meetings at your school where staff will provide updates throughout the spring and create opportunities to ask questions and engage in discussions. You can engage with members of the LCAP/Budget Committee to share your perspective on ways the district can be more effective and efficient or submit questions and ideas to budget-lcap-advisory@millercreeksd.org. Thank you for your support during this process. We are focused on continuing a long tradition of providing excellent public education on behalf of students and will keep you informed along the way through board meetings and the district’s  website  dedicated to this process.  Sincerely, Becky Rosales | Superintendent Kristy Treewater | Deputy Superintendent

    Dear Miller Creek Community, Board Meeting Agenda for October 10, 2023  The agenda for the regular meeting of the Miller Creek School District Board of Trustees on Tuesday, October 10th, has been posted  here .   The agenda for the October 10th Board Meeting includes: At the beginning of the meeting, Trustees will enjoy a short performance by Miller Creek Middle School choir students under the direction of Christina Stroeh. The Board will hear a presentation from  Lagunitas School Board Trustee and Marin County School Boards Association member Denise Bohman on the work of MCSBA and the Efficiency and Effectiveness (E-2) Collaborative.   For the Miller Creek School District, technology is an integral part of our virtually all educational and operational systems. Jack Nguyen, Director of Technology, will provide an overview of current district technology, recent accomplishments within the department, continuity of business planning, cybersecurity, upcoming projects, and future needs. Trustees will discuss proposed revisions to several Board Policies and Administrative Regulations. Each quarter, the California School Boards Association publishes a policy guide sheet summarizing modifications made to CSBA's sample board policies, administrative regulations, board bylaws, and/or exhibits. Districts are advised to review the sample materials and modify their policies accordingly. Generally, the revisions are based on changes to state law, code, or legal decisions that impact the policy manual.  The revisions agendized for discussion on Tuesday are presented as the first reading and no action will be taken. The first reading provides an opportunity for the Board and community to review the draft, typically for the month between meetings. If there are no revisions identified during that time, staff will bring back the policies for a second reading and consideration for adoption. Topics under review include Uniform Complaint Procedures, education for homeless children, nondiscrimination in district programs and activities, use of school facilities, and bids.  This agenda also includes routine personnel actions related to hiring, credential waivers and permits, leave requests, and staffing. Also included is the consideration of various service contracts. Members of the public may participate via  Zoom . For more information about how to make public comments at the meeting, please visit the  Board Meeting webpage .  2023 - 2024 Budget and LCAP Advisory Committee  Each year before June 30, the School Board is required by law to pass a balanced budget. Before that happens, there is a lengthy process to develop the district’s budget, which begins in earnest in January after the First Interim report is presented in December and after the Governor has released his proposed budget for the next fiscal year.  Committee Formation A combined District Budget and LCAP Advisory Committee structure will be implemented this year to develop budget recommendations for the Miller Creek School Board Trustees to consider that address actions and services described in a new three-year LCAP.  This  committee is being formed with educational and community partners in the District for the purpose of reviewing the District's Budget, sharing the information with constituent groups serving as a liaison between the community and the District's budget process, and generating recommendations for the superintendent's consideration in the Budget Development process.  This work will be done in tandem with the LCAP strategic planning process, which will design actions that align with Board goals, the state's priorities, educational partner input, and the needs of students based on data. A  budget committee is one resource that can be used for proposing budget recommendations, particularly in these times of reductions in state education funding or when revenue does not meet projections and budget cuts may be needed.  The District invites participation from the school community and others within the District  with a variety of viewpoints  to inform this process and will appoint the committee members. Members will be asked to serve in rotation for a one to two year cycle. Consistent attendance is necessary, and we expect at least six meetings for 2023-24: Tuesday, Nov. 7, 12:00-4:00pm Tuesday, Dec. 12, 6:00-8:00pm (1st Interim Report at the School Board meeting) Tuesday, Jan. 23, 1:00-4:00pm Tuesday, Feb. 6, 1:00-4:00pm Tuesday, March 5, 1:00-4:00pm Tuesday, March 12, 6:00-8:00pm (2nd Interim Report at the School Board meeting) Meetings will be held at the District Office and facilitated by the superintendent, deputy superintendent, and chief business official.  If you are interested in this committee opportunity, a short interest form is available at this  link .  Please return the form to Julie Chang at  jchang@millercreeksd.org   or in your school office by Monday, October 23rd. Our intent is to include committee members representing all four school sites, the community, and a representative from the Marin County Office of Education. We plan to notify individuals of their committee selection by October 31st.  Have a great weekend, Becky Rosales | Superintendent Kristy Treewater | Deputy Superintendent
