Following publication of an article in November 2023 that revealed that a Napa County Office of Education consultant helped write a Mayacamas Countywide Charter Middle School petition — a petition she would later recommend the NCOE board approve — the consultant has since kept her distance, new records obtained by the Napa Valley Register show.
Amid concerns over its shrinking school budget, the Napa Valley Register has learned that the Napa Valley Unified School District has spent at least $369,000 in litigation and legal fees in its battle against Mayacamas Charter Middle School.
