statement on 11/10 traffic accident
"Early this morning our law enforcement partners notified us of a serious vehicle accident that occurred at approximately 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning on Pacific Ave.
Early indications are that 3 people were involved, injuries were sustained, and we believe one of the individuals is a current AUSD student and one is a recent AUSD graduate.
Out of consideration to the individuals and their families and given the ongoing nature of the investigation, we are not at liberty to disclose names at this time. We are also awaiting additional details regarding the cause or extent of the injuries.
Our thoughts are with these young people and their families at the moment. Once additional information becomes available, we will share what is relevant and appropriate with our community. In the meantime, we will be providing support to any school site that has been affected by this incident."
--Superintendent Pasquale Scuderi

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.
