Message Regarding Executive Order on the U.S. Department of Education

Dear LCMSD Community,


On March 20, 2025, the administration signed an executive order signaling an attempt to dismantle the Department of Education. In response, Tony Thurmond, our State Superintendent of Schools issued the following statement:


“While today’s Executive order signals an intent to dismantle the United States Department of Education, we want to reiterate once again that an Executive Order is not the law and that Congress alone holds the authority to close a department that Congress created. Any changes to the federal government to protect students’ access to public education must come from congressional action.”


As we navigate this period of uncertainty, please know that the Larkspur-Corte Madera School District and the State of California do not anticipate any changes in federal funding or services to our students with IEPs or 504 Plans. 


As we move through these challenges to our current education system, we are committed to keeping you informed and continuing to support every student in our community.  


Thank you,


Dr. Brett Geithman

Superintendent
