Kentfield School District

What Kentfield School District does

Kentfield School District is a public K-8 school district serving the Kentfield and Greenbrae communities in Marin County, California. It operates two campuses: Anthony G. Bacich Elementary School, which serves Transitional Kindergarten through 4th grade, and Adaline E. Kent Middle School, which serves grades 5 through 8. The district is a governmental entity under California state authority, governed by an elected Board of Trustees, and does not charge tuition to resident families.

The district's technology footprint consists of standard school administration platforms: the Aeries Parent Portal for student information (grades, attendance, registration) and ParentSquare for newsletters and district-wide family communications, both integrated with the district website at kentfieldschools.org. A dedicated Technology Services Department supports operations across both campuses. The district does not develop proprietary technology products.

Funding comes primarily from local property taxes, a voter-approved parcel tax that has represented 25% of the operating budget since 1987, state and federal education funding, and periodic voter-approved bond measures such as Measure E. The district employs 101-250 staff across instructional, administrative, student support, facilities, and business services functions. Its services include core academics, special education (IEPs, learning center programs), English learner support, mental health and counseling services, universal meal programs, and extracurricular activities including music and theater. Adaline E. Kent Middle School was named a 2026 California Distinguished School.
