These 5 themes came from the audit that was completed by WestEd in 2021, which was a complete audit of ACUSD and ACOE’s special education programs, staffing, systems, etc. During the 2022-2023 school year, district leadership worked together to identify significant needs across the organization based on feedback given from the WestEd report. These needs were then established and reviewed with a large team of educational partners which included representatives from each employee bargaining unit, all managers across the district (certificated and classified), community members and parents, and school board members. Through review and feedback, the Strategic Plan was completed in June of 2023, with implementation beginning in the 2023-2024 school year.
ACUSD and ACOE are very excited to have this plan serve as a beacon as we move forward in our efforts to provide a safe and effective learning environment for all students.
