The San Ramon Valley Unified School District is moving its administrative headquarters from Danville to San Ramon this month, with its current office set to close to the public Oct. 12.

The move to the new space, located at  3130 Crow Canyon Place, will begin Oct. 7.  However, district board meetings will continue in the San Ramon office, 699 Old Orchard Drive, until further notice. 

“We ask for your patience and partnership during this transition and look forward to welcoming you to our new headquarters soon,” San Ramon Valley Unified School District spokesperson Tammy Herley said in an announcement Wednesday.

The district will continue working to find a new owner for the site of its Danville offices, with Herley saying that future plans would be shared with the community later this school year. 

The district is set to complete the move to San Ramon’s northwestern Crow Canyon neighborhood less than a year after the matter was first approved by the board. The move was presented by Superintendent CJ Cammack amid a flurry of measures to address the district’s budget deficit.

The district is using $18 million from restricted redevelopment agency funds over the course of six to eight years to purchase the new office location and surrounding retail and office property. The district anticipates making about $1.3 million annually in revenue from the existing tenants on the property. 

“The building includes a significant number of retail tenants, and that rent will provide funds to our general fund budget,” Herley wrote in Wednesday’s announcement.

Last month, Cammack said that efforts to curb the district’s deficit spending were paying off.

“Thanks to careful planning, collective efforts and collaboration with our labor partners, our fiscal condition has improved, and we have nearly eliminated our deficit spending,” he said in a Sept. 18 newsletter.

“While maintaining strategic focus and fiscal discipline remains vital, we are committed to making thoughtful, sustainable choices that support our educational priorities while maintaining long-term financial stability,” he wrote.
