San Lorenzo Unified School District is a school district serving the San Lorenzo, San Leandro areas and part of Hayward in Alameda County, California. It was established in 1859. Several "small learning communities," each with a distinctive program, have been created at the district's three high school campuses to better serve students. Superintendent Dr. Fred Brill is only the 9th Superintendent in the history of the district. Student population is approx. 11,000.
The Board of Education consists of 6 members in total. 5 are elected to 4 year terms at-large and are the voting members of the Board, and 1 (the Student Board Trustee) is appointed by the sitting Board of Education and is entitled to an emblematic vote.
The San Lorenzo Unified School District teachers and staff will collaborate with families and the community to cultivate safe learning environments and ensure equitable opportunities and outcomes for all students.
Students will become creative, collaborative, compassionate, resilient, well-informed and socially responsible advocates for equity and social justice as a result of their education, experience and support from educators, families and the community.
There are 18 total schools in San Lorenzo Unified School District, of which there are 5 high schools, 4 middle schools, and 9 elementary schools totalling to a student population of 12,288.
Circa 2004, SLZUSD made a request-for-proposals to create small, thematic academies as "schools-within-schools." These Small Learning Communities (SLC) are designed to house no more than 400 students each. The program has doubled from four initial academies to a full menu of Small Learning Communities:
