The Sonoma Valley Unified School District is a public education district serving the Sonoma Valley region of Northern California, located about 45 miles northeast of San Francisco. It educates roughly 4,500 students across five K-5 elementary schools, two 6-8 middle schools, two K-8 charter schools, one comprehensive high school, and one alternative high school, within a geographic area of about 160 square miles. The district aims to maintain high academic standards, with staff, parents, and community members participating in shaping standards in core subjects such as mathematics, language arts, spelling, history, and science. Governance includes a Board of Trustees and Site Councils, with an explicit expectation of active parental involvement and a commitment to including students with special needs in regular programs. Based in Sonoma, California, the district operates as a mid-sized education administrator serving a diverse student population across a broad geographic footprint. In 2026, the district announced the appointment of a new director of human resources, effective July 1, 2026, reflecting leadership changes within the district.
