Sausalito Marin City School District (SMCSD) is a public school district with offices in Sausalito, California, United States. The district serves Sausalito and the unincorporated area of Marin City in Marin County. As of the 2004-05 school year, the District had 263 students at its three schools. ==History== During much of the district's history, the demographics were evenly split between White students and African-American students. Most of the military families from nearby bases, who were mostly White, sent their children to Sausalito public schools. After the Cold War ended, the United States Department of Defense closed Fort Baker, Fort Berry, and the Presidio of San Francisco. Over 100 students left the school in one period after the military transfers. By then, many families in Sausalito were sending children to private schools instead of public schools. By 1996 80% of the students were African American, and most of the district's students were poor. Despite the district's high student spending and small class sizes, test scores were low.〔La Ganga, Maria L. "(COLUMN ONE; Sausalito Schools: Money Isn't Enough; A wealthy district struggles to teach some of its poorest students, creating an education enigma. Underachievement ignites a firestorm of protest from frustrated parents. )" ''Los Angeles Times''. May 16, 1997. Part A Metro Desk Page 1. Retrieved on July 4, 2011.〕 In 1997 the Marin County Civil Grand Jury published a report indicating that, despite the ample funding, the district had poor performance and violence.〔"(The Sausalito Marin City School District )."

Retrieved on January 3, 2009.〕 In 2006 Jennifer Gollan and Don Speich of the ''Marin Independent Journal'' said "Poor academic achievement in the Sausalito Marin City School District has rendered the concept of public neighborhood schools largely meaningless as dozens of children in the district, both black and white, flock to private schools."〔Gollan, Jennifer and Don Speich. "( Public school exodus )." ''Marin Independent Journal''. June 12, 2006. Retrieved on July 4, 2011.〕 A 2008 followup to the county report indicated improvements and suggested that the Bayside and Martin Luther King schools be returned to K-8 configurations.〔 In 2011 Rob Rogers of the ''Marin Independent Journal'' said that the district continually had, of all of the Marin County school districts, the lowest test scores. The University of Southern California's Rossier School of Education named Willow Creek Academy one of the top charter schools in California.〔Rogers, Rob. "(Willow Creek in Sausalito named one of state's top charter schools )." ''Marin Independent Journal''. June 16, 2011. Retrieved on July 4, 2011.〕 On Thursday January 21, 2014, the board voted to make the Marin City school a K-8 and to close Bayside, having its buildings be used by the Willow Creek charter school, which will use the Bayside campus to house three additional classrooms.〔Prado, Mark. "(Board vote will result in closure of Bayside School in Sausalito )." ''Marin Independent Journal''. January 24, 2013. Retrieved on February 3, 2013.〕 The consolidation of Bayside into MLK will be in effect in the northern hemisphere fall of 2013.〔"(K-8 Comprehensive Education Program )."
