New! AUSD Holiday video
AUSD staff headed out to elementary and secondary sites last month to record students and employees talking about their winter holiday traditions. The resulting video - which was masterfully put together by students at Alameda High School - shines a bright light on the diversity, spirit, and joy present in our AUSD community!
Board Briefs: Nov. 9 meeting
At its November 9 public meeting, the Board of Education heard presentations on enrollment plans for 2022-23, special education, AUSD's CCEIS plan, homework policies, and a potential new bond measure. The Board voted to adopt a resolution recognizing November 14 as Ruby Bridges Day and changing the Jr. Jets boundaries so that Ruby Bridges and Paden Elementary School students are zoned for that school. The agenda and video are available here.
The next Board of Education meeting will take place on December 14. The agenda will include a staff presentation on the First Interim Budget Report and selection of Board officers.

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.
