ALAMEDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
BOARD AGENDA ITEM

Item Title:Update on School Level Initiatives to Support African American Achievement at Alameda High School (20 Minutes/Information)
Item Type:Information
Background:

AUSD continues to share the struggle of many school districts when it comes to serving all of our students effectively. That is, we continue to see differences in outcomes and opportunities for students in our system, differences that correlate to factors like race, disability, and housing status. This pattern warrants both our sustained attention and a sustained effort to disrupt.

 

It is our belief that through collective action we can disrupt and change the outcomes we are seeing for our African American students.  

 

In May 2023, leaders from Ruby Bridges Elementary, Wood Middle, and Encinal Jr. & Sr. High School presented their plans for particular programs and strategies to support achievement for our African American students.  

 

Tonight, leaders from Alameda High School will share information about their site plans to support achievement for our African American students with the Board. Subsequent presentations on this topic will come to the Board throughout the 2023-2024 school year.
