Curricular Program Overview
The Board of Trustees adopts all textbooks by using the state-approved list and requirements. A committee of teachers and administrators review materials from the state-adopted list at the Marin County Office of Education. Materials to be piloted by classroom teachers are selected and used in the classroom for evaluation purposes. A formal recommendation is made to the Board on which materials to adopt. The Reed Union School District Board of Trustees ensures all students have access to their own textbooks and instructional materials to use in class, and at home when appropriate.
All students in music and art classes have access to appropriate instructional materials. Del Mar Middle School offers the following visual and performing arts classes: drama, instrumental band, and art. All content areas in PreK-8 also integrate online electronic resources into the instructional program from a variety of publishers.
Our comprehensive school programs are supported by the General Fund (state and federal), local funding from a parcel tax, The Foundation for Reed Schools and the Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Approximately 90% of funding in RUSD is from local revenues. Programs supported by these funds include:
• Core subject-area instruction
