nominate a teacher of the year!
The Teacher of the Year program is designed to honor and recognize excellent teachers working in the Alameda Unified School District (AUSD). This is a unique opportunity to provide well-deserved recognition for the whole teaching profession, as well as for the distinguished teachers that are nominated. Parents, students, staff, and community members all can nominate any pre-kindergarten through 12th grade teacher (or Adult School teacher). The nomination form and instructions are available on our Employee Recognition page.

At its November 12 public meeting, the Board of Education voted to:

2) adopt a student-initiated climate action resolution; and
2) direct staff to vote "yes" on AUSD's ballots for the City's Water Quality and Flood Protection Program Fee Ballot Measure (AUSD gets one vote for each of its 31 properties).
The Board also heard presentations on two charter school petition renewals, Island High School's continuation program, AUSD's special education programs, and enrollment dates for the 2020-21 school year.

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.
