COVID SAFETY PLAN
Under the state's "Safe Schools for All" plan, AUSD needs to submit three documents to the state in order to re-open schools. Those materials are:
- COVID-19 School Guidance Checklist
- CalOSHA plan that details steps we are taking to provide safe facilities and protocols for employees.
- COVID-19 Safety Plan, which is a revised version of the plan we submitted to the county in late October.
4/2: ausd statement on social media posts at ahs
We learned today that some Alameda High School students have posted racist and anti-Semitic words and images on social media. This is unacceptable behavior for members of our community, and we adamantly denounce it.
The school is investigating the issue, and we will support that investigation in any way we can.
Hateful language and behavior has no place in AUSD. We want our schools to be inclusive, respectful, and safe places for all of our students to learn, and we will continue to work with our site administrators to create those spaces.
We will share more information as it becomes available.
Board briefs
At its public meeting on April 6, the Board of Education heard presentations on AUSD's re-opening plans and progress for spring and fall.
The Board voted to approve: a resolution supporting people of Asian ancestry and condemning hatred toward them; ratification of the Tentative Agreement with AEA on re-opening middle and high schools for hybrid instruction; and the initial proposals for successor collective bargaining with CSEA-27.
The Board also voted to maintain the current school schedules this spring in order to focus more fully on a full fall re-opening.
The agenda and meeting video is available here.

About AUSD
Serving Alameda children since 1855, the Alameda Unified School District is committed to upholding our community’s core values of equity and excellence for every student by providing inclusive and safe conditions for learning that challenge and support every student to be culturally competent and prepared for college, career, and community participation.
The district, which serves about 9500 students, has a wide range of school offerings, including a preschool, nine elementary schools, four middle schools, two comprehensive high schools, a continuation high school, an Early College High School, and an adult school. Approximately 18% of students are English language learners, reflecting the richness of cultures represented in our island city.
We are very proud of the high quality education our staff provides. U.S. News and World Report has recognized Alameda and Encinal High Schools as two of the top 1500 high schools in the nation. Our schools have also received gold, blue, and green ribbon awards from both the California and U.S. Departments of Education, and our graduates go on to a wide range of colleges and universities, as well as apprenticeships and jobs.
