Communications

AUSD sends a newsletter to our employees, families, and media partners weekly. Newsletters generally include press releases on district news, articles about AUSD people and programs, reminders about deadlines, a listing of events, summaries of upcoming and recent Board of Education meetings, and links to articles in local media outlets. If you don't already get it, you can subscribe to our newsletter.  Archived newsletters are available here.

Follow AUSD on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn to get District and Board of Education news, snapshots of daily teaching and learning activities at our school sites, and announcements for upcoming events. Please review these guidelines before interacting with us on social media -- there are certain rules we all need to follow.  Questions? Contact Susan Davis, senior manager, community affairs.

AUSD's Board of Education meetings are held the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 6:30pm. Due to the pandemic, they are being held via Zoom, streamed live on AUSD's Facebook page, and live tweeted via AUSD's Twitter account (@AUSDNews).

Please check the Board of Education page of the AUSD website for meeting information and agendas. 

AUSD accepts and distributes flyers from Alameda-based organizations offering childcare, sports opportunities, and other family-oriented services and events. All flyers need to be submitted via Peachjar. Please visit our Flyer page for more information.

AUSD records are open to inspection at all times during regular office hours.  Any reasonably segregable portion of a record shall be available for inspection by any person requesting the record after deletion of the portions that are exempted by law. Except for public records exempt from disclosure by express provisions of law, a request for a copy of reasonably-described identifiable records shall be made available with minimal delay to the requesting party. An exact copy shall be provided unless it is impracticable to do so.

You will be notified within ten (10) days:

• Whether the District requires an extension of time to determine whether it has records responsive to your request

• Whether the District has records responsive to your request

• Whether the District has records responsive to your request but which are exempt from disclosure and the reasons for exemption

• Whether the District has records responsive to your request and the page count and cost of copying the records

• Based on the page count, the time required to copy the documents requested. Copying of documents responsive to your request will be completed as soon as possible.

If your request is to review documents rather than receive copies, the District will make an appointment at the time of presentation of your request for a future date reasonable to allow staff to gather the documents and review them for compliance with the provisions of the Public Records Act.

The charge for copies of any specifically described and identified public records not exempt from disclosure is $.01 per page for copied documents, except there will be no charge for less than ten (10) pages.

Records stored by the District in electronic format will be provided in electronic format when possible and when requested by any person.
