planned safety power shutoffs
Alameda Municipal Power does not believe PG&E's planned power shutoffs will impact Alameda this week. As such, we are currently planning to keep all AUSD schools open. (You can find AMP's full statement on the utility's website.)
Please note, however, that we are aware that future shutoffs could indeed affect our schools. You can find information about how we would respond to and communicate about such outages on our Emergency Preparedness page.
We also recommend that families sign up to get text alerts from: the City (by texting your zip code to 888777); Alameda Municipal Power (go to www.alamedamp.com); and Alameda County (by going to acgov.org/emergencysite). That way you can be sure to get any alerts about impending power outages as soon as possible.

About AUSD
Serving Alameda children since 1855, the Alameda Unified School District’s mission is to effectively use our limited resources to ensure that every child succeeds. We believe that our diverse community of students, given a rigorous academic program in an inclusive, safe and secure environment, will be prepared to be responsible citizens.
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.
