superintendent search
The Board of Education of the Alameda School District is in the process of conducting a Superintendent Search for purposes of hiring the District’s next Superintendent. Eric Andrew and Juan Garza of Leadership Associates, an executive search firm, were selected to advise the Board in this important process.
Stakeholder sessions will be held throughout the day on March 27, and an open community forum will be held that evening (see details here). Leadership Associates has also developed an online survey to collect input from all stakeholders about the desired characteristics of the next superintendent. Please take the time to follow the link below and provide your input. The survey is available here.
Please check our Superintendent Search page for ongoing updates and important announcements regarding the superintendent search process.
Season for nonviolence readings
March 26: Today’s principle of nonviolence is Difference.
Accepting other people’s differences is a sure-fire way of gaining a more complete acceptance of yourself. Educator, anthropologist, and humanitarian Johnnetta Betsch Cole says, “We are for difference: For respecting difference, for allowing difference, for encouraging difference, until difference no longer makes a difference.”
BOARD BRIEFS
At its public meeting on March 26, the Board of Education will hear presentations on Haight Elementary School and AUSD's secondary school programs, plus updates on the Haight renaming process, the superintendent search, and AUSD's strategic planning process.

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.
