Potter Valley seeks state aid for public high school reentry
Potter Valley residents press ahead despite state opposition to a public high school plan within Ukiah Unified. Trustee Jim Eddie reported that officials from the state’s education department found no grounds for a “necessary small school” allowance under the State Education Code. These efforts follow a July letter from Jacque Ross detailing Edson’s view that conditions justify no favorable grant, while suggesting another hearing if desired.
