In the fall of 2015, AUSD convened a committee of community members, district staff, teachers, union representatives, Board of Education members, and parents to review the district's current enrollment procedures and recommend possible revisions. Committee members were especially concerned with issues regarding diversions, enrollment dates, residency verification, transfers, and enrollment priorities.

The Committee met eight times between October 2015 and February 2016. In the course of those meetings, the committee developed a set of recommendations for changing policies affecting AUSD enrollment.

One recommendation was that the District create a policy designed to streamline enrollment for students from active-duty military families. Based on additional guidance from the Board, staff has created a one-year pilot program. If approved, the program would allow active-duty military families to provisionally enroll electronically with a copy of their transfer orders and a signed lease, but require them to meet the same requirements as all other enrollees once they transfer to Alameda. The program expires in April 2017 unless extended by the Board next year.
