Stretching School Dollars: Galt needs to come together on schools - Sacramento Opinion - Sacramento Editorial Sacramento Bee:
"California today has 550 elementary school districts, overlapping with 84 high school districts. The state has only 333 unified K-12 districts.
For years, Galt residents have talked about joining the elementary and high school districts. Led by a strong grassroots community effort in 2004, parents collected 1,200 signatures in favor of a K-12 merger. As one parent said at the time, 'There's no reason to have two districts; we're a small town.'"
