Swastikas Found At or Near AUSD Schools

After the last day of school, swastikas were found on or near two AUSD campuses. A swastika was drawn on a table at Lincoln Middle School. Another swastika was found two blocks away from Alameda High School. While we don't know who left these, we denounce their presence, as they are against everything we stand for and our commitment to "Everyone Belongs Here." The discovery of the swastikas is particularly sad because this week we are celebrating the achievements of students at both schools as they graduate. At AUSD, we denounce racism, anti-Semitism, and all forms of bigotry, and we know that these hate incidents do not define our students, schools, or district. 

Online School Lunch Debt Donation Link
 

Community members often ask how they can contribute money to help pay off the lunch debts of students whose families cannot afford to do so. We are very grateful for your generosity and community spirit! To make such donations easier, we have partnered with "RevTrak" to create a simple link that community members can use. It takes just minutes to set up an account and then just seconds to make a donation. Please click here to learn more.

AUSD will effectively use our limited resources to ensure that every student succeeds.

Our five year strategic plan (“AUSD Master Plan”) adopted in 2010 identifies eight core goals and strategies that have shaped the District’s work in recent years. Along with our Board’s guiding principles, that strategic work has produced many accomplishments and great progress that we intend to continue to build on in the future.
