Dear Neighbors,
Your Governing Board is pleased to report to you that the Osborn District achieved steady and consistent student achievement in all areas of the curriculum. In fact, documented indicators show that Osborn students outscore those in neighboring districts as well as charter schools located within our boundaries. Unfortunately our enrollment has continued to decline. This fact, by law, directly impacts the District's ability to maintain a level budget from year to year and, thus, its full complement of special programs and facilities. Accordingly, the Board, after numerous hearings, testimony and research was obligated to vote to close Montecito Community School last month. This was a very painful process and decision but we look forward to an improved economy and, indeed, there are visible signs in the District of a significant increase in permanent residents. As we approach a new
school year, please know that your Governing Board is fully committed to insuring an "Osborn Education" to each child enrolled here. This is not just a slogan, it is a promise of student excellence.
