Dear Alameda Community,

Welcome to the 2022-2023 School Year!  Both Britt and I are thrilled to be back at Alameda to begin our 2nd year as your administrative team.  Whether you have been around Alameda for years and years, or are joining us for the very first time, we are excited for you to be a member of our school community.  Although Alameda School has been around for over 100 years, and much of the original building remains unchanged (really, in some places, unchanged), our spirit, our purpose, and our mission evolves and changes as we work collaboratively to meet the needs of our students and our families.  

At the core of our work is a truly outstanding staff.  Our teachers and support staff not only have decades of experience, but they remain steadfast in their commitment to learn and grow.  The work our staff does each day has always been and remains critical to our collective successes.   Teachers first official day back is on Wednesday, August 24th.  If you have not already heard from your child’s teacher, I am sure you soon will.  They are already working hard to prepare for the year ahead.  Please be patient as they begin to ramp up for the new year.

We know that establishing and nurturing deep connections and relationships with students and families must be at the center of our daily efforts.  We look forward to working together, staying connected, and remaining focused as we strive to best serve the needs of all our students and families.  

One of the many ways we hope to stay connected is through the Friday Update Email.  I know our inboxes fill up rapidly these days, but I hope you take a few minutes out of your Friday afternoons to read through the information – we hope you find it interesting, informative, and that it provides you with at least a glimpse of the week.  Another excellent place to find information is the Alameda School Website.  

There is plenty of information to share in the coming weeks. Thanks for reviewing all of this week’s details:

Beginning of the Day/Arrival: The first day of school for students in grades 1-5 is Tuesday, August 30th.  Kindergarten specific schedules will be communicated by classroom teachers.  If you have a child in kindergarten and have any questions about schedules, please reach out directly to your child’s teacher.

Please note we are make some changes to the arrival process —

The school day begins at 8:45 AM.  Students may enter the building at 8:40 AM when the first bell rings.  Please make sure your child does not arrive early.  There will be NO SUPERVISION on the playground prior to school day beginning.  Students will come into the building through grade level specific entrances (SEE ATTACHMENT).  Parents should only enter the building if they have a scheduled meeting, are volunteering, or have made previous arrangements with staff.  Please say your goodbyes away from the door.   Our goal is for a safe and calm beginning to the day.  All doors will be closed and locked at 8:45.  If your child arrives and their door is locked, they must enter through the front entrance and check in at the office.

Students arriving by bus will be brought into the building by a staff member and will wait in the cafeteria until 8:40 AM. 

End of the Day/Dismissal:  The school day ends at 3:00 PM. Teachers will walk their students to an outside designated location for dismissal.  The end of the day is a busy time.  Please make sure your child is fully aware of their after school plan.  If you have to make a change during the day, please contact your child’s teacher via email and call the office.

Staffing Update:  Claudia Brown, our Grades 3-5 Counselor, has accepted a new position within PPS.  We thank Claudia for her service to our school community and wish her the very best at her new school.  We are in the final process of hiring a new counselor – I should have an update by next week.   As I mentioned over the summer, we are super thrilled that our Assistant Principal, Britt Kuether, will in fact be staying with us!  We are thrilled to have Britt back.  Thanks to the Alameda Foundation we will have two part-time Educational Assistants joining us this year.  Our very own Beth Minch will be serving as the kindergarten EA (while continuing her half-time school secretary position) and we will be hiring one additional EA as well.

Class Sizes:  As of right now, we have just over 540 students enrolled at Alameda.  Our average class sizes are:  Kindergarten – 26; 1st Grade – 21; 2nd Grade – 30; 3rd Grade – 26; 4th Grade – 26; and 5th Grade – 29.  My biggest concern is 2nd grade.  The district staffing ratio for 2nd grade is 32:1.  However, I will (and already have) be advocating for a 4th section.  If this is approved, it will likely not happen until the school year has begun.  PPS wants to wait to see how many students show up at schools throughout the district before they begin shifting teacher positions.   I will do my best to keep everyone posted.

District Calendar:  Here is a link to the PPS 2022-2023 Calendar

School Supplies:  Your Alameda PTA is providing teacher-specified school supplies for each classroom. We suggest a contribution of $45 per Alameda student; the cost covers school supplies for your child and ensures that all students are provided the same supplies. Click here  and make your school supplies contribution today.

Alameda PTA:  The beginning of the school year is a great time to re-up your PTA membership! PTA contributions sustain a variety of programs and activities within our community. Click here and join (or re-join!) the Alameda PTA.

Community Care Day:  Saturday, August 27t from 9:00 AM – Noon.  Come on down to Alameda and have fun, meet some new people, and help clean up the grounds.  Please bring gloves, garden tools (especially loppers and small saws), and anything else that might help with our work!  Thanks to our PTA for helping coordinate the morning.   If you have any questions reach out to Event Organizer Jean Crowther.

Lunch in the Cafeteria:   One change from last year is that lunch will no longer be free of charge for all students.  For more information on purchasing school meals please visit PPS Nutrition Services. Breakfast will be available for students beginning at 8:35 AM.  If your child is eating breakfast (and not riding the bus) they need to enter through the front door.

Transportation:  Bus schedules and other information can be found on the PPS Transportation Service website.  You can also reach out to School Secretary Beth Minch with any questions.

Songbirds Choir is Back:  We are excited to welcome back Mr. Ralph Nelson who will be directing our Choir this year.  Choir is open to all 4th and 5th grade students.  Thanks to our arts fundraising success, choir is FREE for all who wish to participate.  Sign up information will be sent out to 4th and 5th grade families next week.

Before/After School Classes:  We are able to offer extracurricular classes this fall.  Be on the lookout for additional information including links to sign-up.  Unfortunately, because of scheduling issues Mr. Cheek is unable to offer band this year.  We are looking into the possibility of other options and will keep you posted.

COVID Update: The good news is that we will begin the 2022-2023 year inching ever closer to pre-pandemic times.  PPS is still completing updates to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), but here are a few details:  The OHSU screening testing will still take place, with families who are interested signing up online.  We will still offer rapid testing for students who come to the office symptomatic.  Masking policy has not changed from the spring, with masks being optional.  Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19 will still be required to isolate for 5 days.  All volunteers and visitors must be vaccinated.   I will likely have additional updates and links in next week’s Friday Update and PPS will be emailing the community directly as well.

Back to School Night is Thursday, September 15th:  We are thrilled to host Back to School Night in-person this fall!  The format will be a bit different this year, starting with that it will take place on only ONE night.  The event will start at 6:30 PM in the cafeteria where all families are invited to meet the staff, hear about the year ahead, and learn information about our PTA, Foundation, and much more.  From 7:00 – 8:00 PM, all teachers will be hosting an Open House in their classrooms where you can see the space, meet the teacher, and learn more about the yea.  BTSN is one of our only “adult only” events of the year – thanks for your understanding.

Fall Conferences:  Conferences will again take place during the week of Thanksgiving.  More details will be coming out, including on-line sign-ups.  

Site Council:  This fall we will be “re-establishing” our Site-Council.   This group is made up of community members, administration, and staff and will be charged with continuing ongoing efforts to improve the work we are doing at Alameda.  We will discuss a wide range of topics including; budgeting/staffing, Instruction, Equity and Inclusion, and other ongoing efforts taking place.  Details are still being finalized, but the team will likely meet 6-8 times during the school year.  Meetings will be in the evening and virtual.  If you are interested, please email Matt Goldstein.  

We are getting very excited to see your children in less than two weeks.  As always, please feel free to reach out to the school office, your child’s teacher, or me if you have any questions or need additional information.  We look forward to working together and kicking off the 2022-2023 School Year.

Advice about Alameda Public Schools

Move to Bay Farm or Castro Valley for the schools?

Jan 2013

We are considering a move to one of these areas based on school quality, safety, community cohesiveness, affordability. My impression is that these places would fit the bill. Are there certain neighborhoods to look into? We are considering secondary schools too, not just elementary. Other things we should know? Also wondering if we need to be moved in by the beginning of enrollment or if we wait until summer could it get complicated? Thank you Hope to move

We live with our two small children in Bay Farm, Alameda for the schools. There are two excellent elementary schools. Call Alameda Unified but my impression is most families have no problem enrolling. Alameda has neighborhood schools so you are assigned a school based on a map, which is easily available online from AUSD. Occasionally a school is over enrolled so your child could get bumped. The neighborhood feels very safe and child friendly. It is not what I would call affordable though. That’s highly subjective though. A lot of bay Farm is made up of planned developments which has its pluses and minuses. Bring your bikes or come for a walk by the lagoon to check it out.

The middle school is Lincoln, which is highly rated. They have an open house for prospective families this month, if you miss it you may be able to arrange a tour. (sorry don’t have the date). Additionally Bay Farm Elementary is transitioning to a small k-8 so if you move to that zone you would have an additional option for middle school.

Seeking Info on Alameda Elementary Schools

Nov 2011

Hello BPN Families, Our family is considering moving to Alameda. I am hopeful to find parents that would give current reviews for Otis, Franklin, and Paden Elementary Schools, as the ones on the BPN archive are from 2008. There appear to be no tours or open houses offered until the January/February kindergarden ”round up” process begins, and we are trying to find ways to experience each of these schools before we make a move withing the next two months.

Some of our main questions are: What is the school culture like? Are there performing/visual arts integrated into the school day curriculum? Do the children have PE? I’ve read about overcrowding in older posts. Is that still and issue? For which schools? What is your school’s greatest challenge/asset? Any insight on how to visit/tour the schools would be very helpful. Many thanks! Peace- Erin

Welcome to Alameda! After 2 years in private school where my son fell behind, we toured a dozen schools in the area and selected our neighborhood school; Washington . 4 years later, I am so glad we did. The teachers are very experienced, the class sizes are small (18 for 4th, 27 for 5th), and the community is great! The most important thing is to arrange a private tour where you can observe actual classes in session, to find the right match for your child. My then very active going- on-7 year old fell in love with the ex-theater performer teacher, who knew how to hold their attention. He has thrived with heavy emphasis on hands on science, and reading skill appropriate books picked by the students (he’s reading a graphic novel a day now.) Don’t wait for round up, any school worth attending won’t mind you observing an hour or 2 of class. Drop in on a PTA meeting for you perspective school to see what current families say. Good luck with your choice. Annie

My daughter is a third grader at Otis and we’re quite happy with it. Class size is 25. Some grades, some years a few kids might get bumped to neighboring schools if it’s overfull. If you’re planning to register mid-year you could probably call the office and make sure there’s currently room in your grade/s. We started in May and the next fall 6-8 kids got bumped from her grade, but she wasn’t one. There’s PE and music twice a week from teachers on staff, and a very organized parent volunteer program that does visual arts (not sure exactly how often). There’s a very organized parent community that runs the visual arts program, a new garden program, fundraising, after school classes, etc. Happy Otis parent

Positive School Environments in Alameda?

June 2011

Our current public school has really punted the ball on issues related to bullying over the past couple years, and we’ve seen the effect on both of our daughters (not to mention on many other kids at the school). For this and other reasons we’re planning a move to Alameda. Ahead of the move we’re interested to learn what steps local elementary, middle, and high schools are taking to reduce and respond to bullying as well as less virulent forms of teasing/exclusion. We’d like to hear about any schools that do a particularly good (or not-so-good) job of creating a safe and positive environment for all students, and we’d love to hear from parents of Alameda girls who don’t make friends very easily but are having a healthy and socially fulfilling school experience all the same. Thanks for your help. Anon

Our experience is that many of the schools in Alameda have very rigorous anti-bullying programs. My kids have attended Bay Farm Elementary, so that is the bulk of my experience. While kids will be kids, I’ve found that the prevention messages are loud and clear, and when situations have arisen, they have been dealt with promptly.

I believe the other elementary schools have been similar in their approach, but can’t say for sure.

Another local resource is the Alameda Parents Network- on Yahoo Groups- and as you get closer to becoming a local, it will be helpful for many topics. happy alameda parent

Alameda elementary school options

Feb 2011

We may be moving to Alameda and I am interested to hear people’s opinions on their public schools, as well as St. Joseph’s Catholic school. I have a kindergartner and 2nd grader and want to find a school that has solid academics. Thanks

To be honest, I don’t believe you can go wrong with any of the Alameda Public Schools. Save your money for college. They have extremely dedicated teachers whose sole interest is educating our children. I have lived in Alameda for 23 years and all three of my children did very well going to Alameda public schools throughout K-12. While I am not a teacher, I am credentialed as a CA teacher and worked/substitute taught for years in may of the Alameda elementary schools. Your child will receive a wonderful education and will be prepared to go to college as all of my children have done. happy in Alameda

Your question about Alameda’s schools cannot fully be answered until March 8th, when we vote on our latest attempt to pass a school parcel tax. If it succeeds (last year’s attempt didn’t), then our schools will remain good but the draconian cuts required if it fails are more than a little scary. Anon

Where are the best schools in Alameda?

August 2010

We love Alameda and are considering an in town move since our 2/1 ”starter house” is getting pretty crowded now that we have 2 kids. One of the things I really value is the ability to use the local, community based public schools. I know that some are better than others. Which do you think are the best in Alameda (94501 NOT 94502)? Are Haight and Washington the only ones to avoid? Does your Alameda school have a great community feeling? Do you think they are gonna close Franklin since it is so small? If it is closed which will it combine with? Many thanks Island parents! jenny

IMO, there are not any schools you need to avoid! The district offers the same curriculum and they don’t place all the bad teachers at Washington and Haight and all the good teachers at Edison and Franklin. That being said there are schools with a lot more diversity than others. It all depends what you are looking for. I know there is talk about Washington becoming an art magnet program. Alot of people like NEA alot too. Go observe the schools when they are back in session…that will give you the best idea of what school is best for your children. You can also become a member of Alameda Parents Network yahoo group to give you access to more Alameda parents. Feel free to email me offline if you have more specific questions!

What do we need to know about Alameda schools?

May 2010

My husband and I are planning to attend open houses for Alameda elementary schools next month. We’d appreciate advice from seasoned parents (AUSD or elsewhere) about what questions we should ask. What would you have liked to know before you enrolled your child in public elementary school? What do we *really* need to know to help us make a decision or get prepared for our local school? Many thanks to all who can shed light on this daunting process! Alameda Mom

First it depends on which neighborhood you’re looking at. I don’t think Bay Farm, Edison, Otis, or Ruby Bridges are likely to close. Based on AUSD’s funding issues, I bet Franklin will close with many students moving to Washington or Ruby Bridges over their parents’ strident objections. The high schools may be consolidated and Wood Middle School may close.

My kid is just finishing up at Otis, which was overall a very positive experience. I can’t really speak for the other schools but if you are curious, it’s worth looking online at the schools’ test scores and standing. The biggest indicator is the quality of your child’s teacher! There are some teachers at Otis I’d recommend. Others I wouldn’t. On the other hand, there are other parents who would disagree with my assessment – we had a very positive experience with a teacher I heard a lot of nasty rumors about.

An important factor is the PTA’s activity level. The teachers at Washington are reputedly quite dedicated, but there’s almost no PTA activity. Otis has a VERY active PTA which means there are extracurricular activities and educational opportunities not available to some other schools. For a long time, Edison was THE elementary school benchmark. 10 years ago Otis was sort of a dump, but its climate has changed as more young families have moved into the area. Efforts of the garden club, art docents, Art is Education, science docents, and even the Dads’ Club have made Otis a more vital, welcoming school.

I think that, particularly if some west end schools are consolidated, it might actually be good for the AUSD student body on the larger scale, where more active parents are spreading their effort amongst a larger pool of students… sometimes inexperienced parents just need a little nudge or guidance from those more active. However, AUSD’s budget crisis is such that there WILL be budget cuts again, and likely closures, within the next 3 years whether or not the parcel tax (Measure E) passes. Crowding will be an issue. … PTA – active parent

Considering a move from Oakland to Alameda

March 2010

I currently live in Oakland Laurel neighborhood with my wife and daughter (20 months). We are considering buying a new house in Alameda and are starting to do some research of the Alameda public schools. From our research up to this point, it seems like the public schools are overall decent, but the better ones have enrollment issues. We would consider paying more on a mortgage to get into a better public school in a better neighborhood, but there are no guarantees. I’ve also heard of school closures.

We are hoping that BPN members living in Alameda can help with your most recent observations on the public school landscape. Most of the archived info on the BPN website on this subject are a couple of years old. Where is the best place to live in Alameda for schools? Thanks for your help.

We bought our first house in Alameda a few years ago and have been happy with our choice. We have two children, one of which has started school at Edison Elementary.

Over-enrollment: It is true that some of the schools have over-enrollment issues at this time and so far there is no long-term solution. In the recent past, extra children at Edison have been able to enroll by creating a 4th kindergarten classroom, this has occurred twice so far, and now the school is pretty much out of room. For the upcoming year, they are considering changing the student-teacher ratio to 25:1 instead of 20:1 to absorb the extra few children that signed up for this fall.

School reputation: For what it’s worth, some elementary schools are considered more desirable than others… on the main island that would be Edison and Otis, which are east end schools (east of Park Street). Franklin and Lum are also considered pretty good. The two on Bay Farm Island have good reputations as well. What does this mean? Well I would say all public schools in Alameda are good schools. However they are public schools, and parent participation and willingness to create extra programs and make things happen at each school is what makes the difference. Some schools have a greater amount of parent involvement than others. For example, Edison has a very active and involved PTA that provides and funds many school programs and events (Art Docent, Garden Docent, Science Docent, assemblies, field trips, game night, fall festival, etc). Other schools may not have such a wide variety of ”extras” and may not have the overabundance of volunteering parents (we don’t have one room parent, we have 3, we don’t have 3 art docents per school, we have 3 per classroom… you get the idea).

Overall I would definitely recommend moving to Alameda, we love how our children go to the neighborhood school and the sense of community it provides. We do pay a higher mortgage specifically to have our children attend the school that they do. There is a pdf map available on the AUSD website with school boundaries if you have not seen it already. I know it’s a tricky time at the moment and a bit of a leap of faith due to the recent over- enrollment issues, however so far AUSD has been able to keep families at their respective schools somehow… not sure how this will play out by the time your 20 month old is kindergarten age… however there seems to be some general understanding of the seriousness of the issue. Many people buy homes here in certain areas specifically for the local school so AUSD has tried to keep everyone happy. .. however funding and space issues are unfortunately very real, regardless of good intentions. Best of luck and hope you find what you are looking for. Alamedan

Thinking about moving from Lamorinda to Alameda

August 2005

We are unhappy in Moraga and would like to move to Alameda. I am concerned that I will be doing our two young children a disservice if we move b/c Moraga schools are supposed to be ‘the best’ which I guess makes Alameda schools ‘lesser’. Is there anyone who has made this move, or a similar one? How did it turn out? I don’t want to harm my children’s future but I can’t see spending the next 15 years in a place I dislike. Our older child just finished kindergarten at CP in Moraga and had a great year – but she is very bright and outgoing! and would probably do well anywhere. Still, I have a nagging feeling that I if I were a better parent I would make the sacrifice to stay here and send her to ‘the best’ schools. anon

I am an Alameda Mom with two young girls. We moved here from Berkeley, and one of our major reasons were that the public schools were so good over here – elementary, that is. I don’t know much about middle/high schools here yet… and I can’t compare with Moraga, having never lived there. Alameda is a unique and wonderful, family friendly community with so much to offer children. If you have any more specific questions about the area, feel free to contact me. Good luck! ali

I did not make your move from Lamarinda to Alameda. But, I do live in Alameda and know that the schools in the good districts are excellent. Edison, Amelia Earhardt, and Bay Farm are the best elementary schools that feed into Lincoln Middle School, which is the best middle school in the area and then Alameda High School- has mixed reviews- it is a big school with AP classes. If your child might fall into the ”wrong” crowd it might not be the best but it has a great mix of races. I have also heard that Lamarinda schools are hard for kids to keep up with clothes etc. I know there is pressure in Alameda also, but not as bad as Lamarinda. anon

My son is entering 1st grade at Otis Elementary in Alameda. His kindergarten year there was great…. [See Otis Elementary School for the rest of the review.]

Alameda is a really nice district. I would give you a head’s up on the economic polarity of the island. It changes quite a bit from one end to the other, and it seems that I’ve heard a few things here and there about it not being a very minority friendly place. It has a very small town feel to it and seems to be strongly community oriented.

As for the elementary schools, it depends where you go. If you move to Harbor Bay you’ll get Bay Farm and Earhart which are supposed to be the cream of the crop. Bay Farm was like a 10/8 in API and I’m not sure about Earhart. My take on those schools is that they can be competitive, although you will have a very active parent community. I think Bay Farm raises enough money to give each of its teachers 200 in classroom funds each year and fund a great variety of activities. On the main island I’ve heard really nice things about Otis, Franklin and Edison. They seem to have a very diverse population of kids, well respected teachers who have been there for years, and a nice community focus. The further west you go, the more you will confront ”Oakland Issues”, which I think is a code for the racial stuff I mentioned earlier. Woodstock is a title I school and struggles with test ! scores every year, but I know some teachers there and they are amazing, dedicated and proud of their school.

As far as Middle School goes, I know Lincoln has pretty good academics but the kids can be quite cliquish. I’m aware there are some principal issues (at one point grieved by her staff over the last two years) but I’m not sure if she’s still there. Chipman seems to be the ”diamond in the rough”. They’re new principal is extremely well respected and has done wonders with the Math and Language Arts programs. There is apparently some District Math trainer who is working with the teachers to raise test scores in Math and better prepare students for Algebra. He also worked with Hayward and did some good things for them. I believe Chipman has really jumped on board and is seeing positive results.

I’m in the dark about High School.

All in all, Alameda is a nice, safe place to live and is a great place to raise kids. It offers a lot more diversity than I imagine Moraga does and is very child centered. It may not have all the bells and whistles that Moraga does but it graduates some very successful people (as any school district will).

I don’t think you’re being a ”bad parent” if you choose to move to a place that makes you happy. If you’re happy, you’re children will be happy. But you’ll do what feels right. Go visit the schools, that’s the best way to find out.

BTW, I have a friend who is a teacher and lives in Alameda. That’s where I’m getting my info!

Good Luck!

Deciding where to live is a personal decision. Both your happiness and your children’s education are important considerations. Alameda public schools are more diverse than those in Moraga. If your children were to attend Alameda public schools, they would be more apt to meet kids who did not speak English at home and whose parents had a wide variety of jobs. That adds a lot to a child’s educational experience. Two Alameda schools that have great academics are Bay Farm and Edison. There are many others. If you decide to move, you should look into Alameda school attendance zones and student assignment policies. debbie

More advice from parents

Nov 2003

We have had great success with the Alameda schools. Paden provides a developmental approach and the teachers are remarkable. You can apply to have your child attend there. One son is currently at Lincoln and is doing well. Lincoln has a huge nature area along the bay where students learn science. The band program has been great for my son, and the music teacher inspires him daily. My older son had a good experience at Wood Middle School Academy. It is a small school within a school. Currently he attends the Alameda Community Learning Center. Both schools addressed his special needs and are very supportive. Patti

June 2003

Does anyone have information to share about Alameda Public Elementary Schools? Danielle

I taught in Alameda at three of the elementary schools on the island: Bay Farm, Lum, Miller. This was a while ago,1993-97. Miller is right near the base (or what was the base) and its population was 100% naval families. This made for lots of movement mid-year for kids, which was hard. Lum was a good solid middle of the road school – very active pta, good administration, etc. The principal when I was there was Patty Klaus and I believe she is the principal of Franklin School now. I have not taught at Franklin, but I believe it has an excellent reputation and Patty Klaus is great. It has small numbers, too. Bay Farm was also great, lots of excellent programs, lovely facility, very involved families. Paden has an excellent reputation for strong developmental programs, mixed grade levels, and dedicated faculty. All in all, I enjoyed teaching in Alameda and would feel comfortable sending my kids to school in the district (depending on the school, though). AUSD is not as overwhelmingly huge to deal with as Oakland or Berkeley Public Schools seem to be. Melissa

Alameda Unified School District

Alameda Unified School District serves Alameda, California, United States.

The school district is a “single” district (as of 1936), meaning that it includes both K-8 schools and high schools in the same jurisdiction. Like all school districts in California, it is not part of the city’s government. The school board has been elected separately from the Alameda City Council since April 1969. The city council has no direct authority over the school board.

AUSD has about 9,300 students per year in 10 countries. elementary schools, two secondary schools and four high schools. The district also has an adult school and a child development center. At the end of the 2005–2006 school year, three elementary schools were closed and merged; Miller Elementary School, Woodstock Elementary School, and Longfellow Elementary School students went to Ruby Bridges Elementary School.

In 2009, the area received significant media attention. ^{[1] [2]} due to controversy over Board of Trustees-approved anti-bullying curriculum known as Lesson 9”, which focuses on reducing bullying of LGBT students. The curriculum sparked two lawsuits that were subsequently dismissed.

Bond / package

Tax bonds

The first school bail measure was passed in 1874 and the city’s first high school and main gymnasium were built, located on Chestnut and Santa Clara. The 1874 bonds also bought properties on Fifth and Pacific Avenues, and a school opened in 1875. In 1878, the next bond bought six lots on the south side of Alameda Avenue between Oak and Walnut. The Porter School opened in 1879. Additional bonds were issued in 1894 to build four new schools. In 1901, high school students vigorously campaigned for bail to build a new $65,000 high school. Bond elections in 1907, 1909 and 1915 financed the most ambitious building campaign. Three old schools were replaced by new ones and one new school was built. Voters accepted a $750,000 bond in 1923 (with another $350,000 added in 1925). As a result, construction began on Alameda High School in November 1924, which opened on August 19.26 years old

In 1933, the Field Act was passed after an earthquake severely damaged a school in Long Beach. While federal funds were used to rebuild some of the existing schools under the Fields Act, a bond of $222,000 was passed in 1940. During World War II, Alameda’s population increased dramatically from 38,000 to 90,000. The federal government built three low-cost grammar schools for children living in federal housing projects that housed workers for the Naval Air Station and shipyards.

A baby boom began in the 1940s, with 15,000 Alameda children born. In 1948, a $2,840,000 bond measure was passed. The lion’s share of the bonds was used to purchase land and build Encinal High School. In 1951, a survey showed that 45 percent of children enrolled in Alameda schools had parents who lived or worked on federal facilities. As a result, the school district received $2,250,000 from the federal government to build a school between 1951 to 1955. In 1953, $3,000,000 worth of bonds were approved. During the 1950s, federal grant and bond revenues totaled $8,500,000.

In the 1960s, a demolition and housing frenzy began in old Alameda. Construction on the South Shore resulted in a record enrollment of 12,500 students. In 1967, AB450 required school districts to align their pre-1933 schools to the structural standards of Field Law 1933 years by 1983 (the deadline was pushed back to 1975 the following year). An inspection of four pre-1933 Alameda schools (Hate, Porter, Lincoln, and Alameda High) found them unsafe.

In 1964, the $4 million bond issue barely went through. Voters rejected bail measures in 1968, 1973, 1974, 1975, and 1976. In the 1970s, the school district was forced to borrow money from the state to build the school.

In 1989, a $47.7 million bond issue was issued that initially cost taxpayers $103 for every $100,000 of property value. This amount has dropped to 59dollars per $100,000 of appraised value. This tax was initially abolished in 2014, but was instead retained to pay for a subsequent bond issue in 2004. ^[3]

In 2004, voters approved a $63 million bond issue. ^[4] This measure refinanced the existing 1989 bond along with a new $63 million bond issue. As a result, payments to taxpayers remained at the level of 59dollars per $100,000, but from 2014 to 2034. The school district said in a statement on the voting measure that it expects to be eligible for more than $17 million in public funds if the measure is approved. The county received about $14.8 million in government appropriations. Since the fall of 2013, Alameda residents have been able to see a tax on their property tax bill as “Voter Approved Debt Service – One School”.

In 2014, voters approved Measure I, the issuance of bonds in the amount of 179million dollars.

Total Parcel Fees

Four-year $50 parcel tax (measure A) failed in 1997. Elections were held on June 3, and the measure won only 57.5% of the vote, short of what was needed to pass a qualified two-thirds majority. ^[5]

In 2001, a five-year tax of $109 per package (Measure A) ^[6] was approved by voters.

In 2005, the parcel tax from 2001 (measure A) was increased to 189dollars and extended for seven years.

In 2008, a four-year parcel tax (Measure H) was adopted. The shipping cost for residential buildings was $120, while for commercial buildings it was 15 cents per square foot, a minimum of $120 and a maximum of $9,500. Two lawsuits have been filed challenging the legality of Measure H. Both parcel taxes, Measure A and Measure H, expired in 2012.

In 2010 measure E, which replaced measures A and H with a new tax and raised the rate from $309 per year to $659dollars per year for a residential lot, received 65.6% of the vote, less than 2/3 of the required permit to pass. ^[7]

Following the failure of Measure E in 2010, the AUSD included a new voting measure, Measure A, on the March 8, 2011 ballot. The proposed measure would tax the land at a nominal rate of 32 cents per square foot of the building, with a maximum tax of $7,999 per year. Plots without building improvements will pay a minimum of 29$9 per year. ^[8] The measure passed with 68% approval.

In 2013, the California Supreme Court ruled that a previous lower court decision stood and that decision upheld Part Boricas of the Measure H lawsuit, stating that the school district cannot charge different tax rates for commercial and residential property, and paved the way for the reimbursement of millions of dollars of commercial property taxes collected under Measure H. ^{[9] [10]}

In 2016, Measure B1 was passed by 74% of Alameda voters who voted yes. Measure B1 was an extension of the existing measure A adopted in 2011. In January 2017, a lawsuit was filed challenging the structure of the land tax. In April 2018, the Alameda County Superior Court issued a decision upholding Measure B1. ^[11]

Mission Statement

The Alameda Community Learning Center is an educational model that empowers all youth to take responsibility for their educational experience, celebrate their diverse community, and actively participate as members of a democratic society .

History

The Alameda Community Learning Center was established as a school where the alumni profile of the Alameda Unified School District could live and breathe. The Alumni Profile is a document that was created at a vision conference held by AUSD in partnership with Arthur Andersen at 1992

The product of this conference, Graduate Profile, contains the ideal skills, qualities, and work habits of a successful high school graduate. Arthur Andersen funded the school’s start-up costs and provided it with state-of-the-art technological resources and trained facilitators.

After the first five years, it became clear to all participants that this school should become a Charter School, where the economic and educational decisions that determine the fate of the school would be made by the ACLC Board of Governors, consisting of facilitators, parents, students, community members and a district representative . This statutory status allows the school to seek its own grants, define its own standards, and implement policies that meet the needs of this unique environment. Facilitators (teachers), parents and pupils (students) participate in decision making at all levels.

Leadership and Self-Management

Judicial Committee

The JC system, also known as the Judicial Committee, consists of a select group of students and an overseeing facilitator. The JC enforces school rules by hearing cases submitted by students and facilitators and makes decisions about the appropriate consequences of specific actions. JC’s findings are binding on all parties involved and may result in further action, including suspension or exclusion if necessary. They will mediate disputes and help the parties to the conflict find common ground and move forward in a spirit of cooperation. This role is particularly important in maintaining harmony between parties who remain in the same learning community and interact regularly. The Judicial Committee (JC) consists of five clerks elected by the students and one coordinator chosen by his/her peers. The JC meets five times a week to deal with issues related to the violation of the rules enshrined in the Code of Laws. ^[2] developed by CCC. ^[3]

Leadership

Leadership is one of the courses offered by ACLC. Leadership is like a student council and runs its business using Robert’s Rules of Order. This is a group that meets three times a week and works closely with a facilitator to discuss, vote on, and implement proposals submitted by the community.

Such duties include

• Codification of changes to the rulebook
• Enforcement of community rules
• Operations Coordinating Center
• Ensuring the smooth running of daily business
• Coordinating and facilitating the ACLC Annual Constitutional Convention

Many other functions such as scheduling CCC meetings and announcements, coordinating field trips, and other facilitating and communicative roles are performed by Leadership. Leadership provides and offers students the opportunity to participate in self-management and organization of their own learning community, as well as gain real-world experience, for example by helping to maintain and run a school more economically.

CCC

The Alameda Community Learning Center places a strong emphasis on community participation. The school is based on a democracy where every student has the right to vote and the right to vote. One way the community stays strong is through CCC, an hour where the whole school comes together to discuss news, make decisions and get to know each other a little better. Suddenly, the CCC began to lose its greatness. For most students, CCC is more of a hassle than anything else. A vote was taken to change the format, making it all a big group, all a small group, and a mixture of the two (as it was before). A large group is when the whole school comes together to talk about what is happening. A small group is a place where the school divides students into relatively equal groups to discuss current issues.

Courses

ACLC has a set of graduation requirements designed to meet the University of California requirements. ^[4] Students often have free periods during the week which they use to do homework/projects or socialize. ^[5]

Individualized Learning

Students with unique learning needs are welcome to ACLC where they thrive and benefit from our full inclusion model. A school-wide culture of respect for individual differences allows ACLC to offer a supportive program for all students with special needs without always requiring the typical Resource Room. With time throughout the day to meet with facilitators and project teams, all students have easy access to workshop support, and project-based learning encourages creative responses to academic assignments. The Resource Specialist also creates and implements meaningful accommodations for students with disabilities and provides educational support. ^[6]

General

Vandalism

This is quite common in ACLC and ranges from minor to extreme. Typically an ACLC wiki is removed and its content is either removed or changed negatively. In recent years, the school has been trying to combat vandalism in the men’s room. As a result, the toilet is now closed during lunch and after school, and students must now log out. 9 McMahon, Mike (2005–2008). “ACLC Overview” (PDF). ALAMEDA COMMUNITY TRAINING CENTER .
