The committee has formed because RCSD went through a process last fall to move and merge programs and to consolidate schools in order for the district to balance its budget. This process, Planning for our Future, was undertaken because an independent financial consultant concluded that with declining enrollment, RCSD could not sustain 16 schools with 7,500 students.
The Sequoia Awards recognize young men and women for their outstanding work volunteering throughout the Redwood City community. Each student receives a scholarship worth between $5,000 to $25,000.
