State of the District Breakfast and Bus Tour
I would like to personally invite you to the SLUSD State of the District Breakfast and Bus Tour at 7:30 on Friday, October 12 in the FTK Gym at San Leandro High School. This annual event has changed to a breakfast and bus tour of several of our schools. We hope to better highlight the transformative work and modernized facilities that have come over the past five years by opening our doors. The SLUSD Board of Trustees and I always welcome the opportunity to share what is happening in our exceptional schools. Our community needs to see and feel the results of their support, and our incredible staff and students need to get the public recognition they deserve.
The breakfast will start at 7:30 am, where I will review highlights that focus on our progress with the 2017-2020 Strategic Action Plan. This plan is the second plan we’ve implemented to intentionally target improvement efforts. The needs of our students and our community are always changing, and by working in three-year increments, we are continually analyzing our effectiveness and challenging ourselves to innovate. After the breakfast, guests will be invited to board buses to tour several schools, which will include a ribbon cutting at the John Muir Middle School library, which was recently remodeled courtesy of the community’s support with the J1 bond.
To RSVP for this event, please contact any school administrator or click

We hope to see you on October 12.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael McLaughlin, Superintendent

Measure I on November Ballot
Thanks to the support of the San Leandro community, SLUSD is making tremendous strides to improve local schools.
In November, Measure I will appear on your general election ballot. Measure I would restore funding previously approved by voters and re-authorize a $39 per year school parcel tax that expired last year. This parcel tax helped fund the District’s core academic programs in math, science, technology, skilled trades, and the arts.
Measure I funds would be used to help the District attract and retain quality teachers and maintain manageable class sizes. All funds will benefit San Leandro students. Additionally, seniors may qualify for an exemption. For more information about the November 6 election and Measure I, click

SLED Gala Success
On September 14th, nearly 250 San Leandro school supporters turned out at the Snow Building to say "Cheers to Ten Years" at the Annual SLED Gala. The Gala was especially momentous this year as SLED celebrated ten years of the community
pulling together for education.
That evening SLED awarded its first ever "Partner in Education" awards recognizing remarkable commitment to public education in San Leandro. Recipients included Debra Lambert from Kaiser Permanente (pictured), parent Leticia Alvarez, Rob Stoker from the Sheet Metal Workers Local 104, Joel Burrows from Ghirardelli Chocolate and SLED Co-Founders, Jill Raimondi and Deborah Cox.
Over 75,000 was raised that evening to support the teachers and students in all thirteen of San Leandro USD's public schools, including over 7,000 for Teacher Mini-grants. For more photos visit SLED's Facebook page by clicking
