 Support Services
The elementary districts sending students on to the Tamalpais Union High School District participate in the Education Task Force (ETF). This consortium establishes consistency in the program objectives, curriculum and instructional materials among its member schools and ensures a smooth transition from middle to high school. Schools in the Tamalpais Union High School District align their curriculum, instruction and assessment in the basic subject areas. For the 2003-2004 school year, the district has approximately 240 teachers and 5 mentor teachers who offer training to new and experienced teachers and support curriculum development.
