By: Wert-Berater, Inc. School district merger proposed By DAN JOHNSON, ARGUS-COURIER STAFF Published: Friday, January 28, 2011 at 3:00 a.m. Last Modified: Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 9:29 a.m. The former superintendent of Sonoma County Schools has proposed that Petaluma's two largest school entities consider merging under one superintendent to better address ongoing budget challenges and use some of the resulting savings to boost classroom education. Petaluma resident Carl Wong, who was superintendent of Petaluma City Schools and then served in the county post until this month, made the suggestion as a private citizen last week, and since then, city officials, as well as administrators and board members of Petaluma City Schools — consisting of the Petaluma City Elementary School District and Petaluma Joint Union High School District — and the Old Adobe Union School District have been weighing in on the matter. Wong has advocated pursuing a merger several times before, without success, but feels that since PCS Superintendent Greta Viguie and Old Adobe Superintendent Diane Zimmerman both will be retiring on June 30, it is a good time to revisit the matter. Since the Cinnabar and Waugh school districts also are within Petaluma city limits, he says that they, too, could be included in a merger. “During the past 100 years, we haven't been able to reduce the number of school districts in Sonoma County. I think that it might be time to try a dramatically different approach by allowing Petaluma residents to vote on consolidation,” # # # Wert-Berater, Inc. is a leading provider of feasibility and technical assistance for a variety of industries.
