On May 13, 2021, the Monterey County Office of Education and the North Monterey County Unified School District welcomed Governor Gavin Newsom, State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, State Board of Education President Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond and Health and Secretary of Human Services Dr. Mark Ghaly to Elkhorn Elementary School for a historic announcement. The Governor outlined his California Comeback Plan today which proposes the

highest level of state school funding in California history.  North Monterey County Unified School was selected as the location because our district is a model for providing wrap-around services and extended programs from 6 AM-6 PM as described on our website.
