WEST CONTRA COSTA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
1108 Bissell Avenue | Richmond, CA 94801-3135 Office: (510) 231-1170 www.wccusd.net Cheryl Cotton Kim Moses, Ed.D. Superintendent Associate Superintendent, Business Services November 12, 2025 Lashonda White City of Richmond 450 Civic Center Plaza Richmond, CA 94804 Dear Ms. White, The West Contra Costa Unified School District is proud to educate the students of Richmond, CA. We are committed
to
serving
our
families
and
communities
with
high-quality
programming,
and
we
are
intentional
in
our
strategies
to
engage
our
students
and
families
in
a
meaningful
way.
We
are
excited
that
Stege
Elementary
School
is
being
reconstructed
to
provide
new
school
facilities
for
our
Richmond
children
and
families.
However,
currently,
the
students
and
families
of
Stege
have
been
temporarily
relocated
to
the
DeJean
Middle
School
campus
while
the
new
Stege
campus
is
under
construction.
To serve our Stege residents most effectively and to ensure that our school-sponsored after-school program is accessible
to
all
students
and
families,
we
respectfully
ask
for
your
partnership
and
support
to
provide
these
services
at
the
Booker
T.
Anderson
Community
Center
located
in
the
Stege
Community.
We
believe
the
location
is
critical
to
having
students
engage
in
after-school
activities,
given
the
distance
of
the
temporary
campus.
We
also
ask
for
the
city
to
consider
allowing
our
use
of
the
BTA
Community
Center
as
an
in-kind
service.
Currently,
our
district
is
addressing
a
structural
deficit
and
working
towards
fiscal
solvency
in
our
multi-year
budget
plan.
The
fees
associated
with
the
public
rental
exceed
what
we
can
afford.
As
a
result
of
our
budget
deficit,
we
are
asking
that
the
fees
for
the
school
year
2024-25
and
2025-26
be
waived
for
the
facility
use.
Our
district
is
more
than
willing
to
offer
in-kind
facilities
use
permits
for
the
city
of
Richmond,
as
requested
during
this
school
year.
Thank you for considering this request. If you have any questions or would like to address this matter further,
please
don't
hesitate
to
contact
us.
Sincerely, Kim Moses, Ed.D. Associate Superintendent, Business Services
