COVID SAFETY PLAN
Under the state's "Safe Schools for All" plan, AUSD needed to submit three documents to the state in order to re-open schools in the spring of 2021. Those materials are:
- COVID-19 School Guidance Checklist
- CalOSHA plan that details steps we are taking to provide safe facilities and protocols for employees.
- COVID-19 Safety Plan, which is a revised version of the plan we submitted to the county in late October.
An Executive Summary of the COVID-19 Safety Plan provides a high-level overview of our plans.
2021-22 instructional programs
AUSD is currently planning to provide full-time, in-person instruction five days a week for the 2021-22 school year. Students will be automatically enrolled in this program.
In addition, our current plan is to provide a remote program, with priority given to students who are risk for severe disease from COVID-19 or who live with people who are risk for severe COVID disease. Applications for the remote program are now available on our Enrollment web page and will remain available through May 23.
For more information on our in-person and remote programs next year, please visit our 2021-22 Programs page, which includes links to pages on both programs.

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.
