phase ii facilities bond program
AUSD's Board of Education is considering placing a bond measure on the June 2022 ballot to fund Phase II upgrades to local schools. Phase II is aimed at first finishing basic repairs to keep schools safe and functioning and then providing state-of-the-art classrooms, labs, and other facilities to prepare students for future success.
Our Phase II Repairs and Upgrades page includes background on AUSD's Facilities Master Plan and Measure I projects that have been completed, as well links to Board presentations and videos and FAQs. The topic will be discussed again at the January 25 Board of Education meeting.
Board Briefs: January 11
At its January 11 meeting, the Board of Education heard an update on AUSD's response to COVID-19. The Board voted to approve the Superintendent's recommendations for new members for the Measure I Bond Oversight Committee.
The agenda item about the first goal of the Strategic Plan (refining and clarifying AUSD's foundational program) will be presented at a future meeting.

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.
