A primary goal of the Board of Trustees of Dublin Schools and the district administration is to continue to acknowledge the importance of a high level of staff morale. One way to do this has been to consider outstanding employees for recognition. Dublin Schools initiated a program in 1989 to provide for special recognition for classroom teachers, classified staff members, administrators, and volunteers who have been nominated by members of the school community including teachers, classified staff, administrators, parents, community groups, and students. The purpose of District Recognition is to officially honor those employees and volunteers who demonstrate consistently notable achievement in supporting the District’s Mission: “Our mission is to ensure that every student becomes a lifelong learner by providing a rigorous and relevant 21st century education that prepares him/her for college and career or service to our country and for success in a global economy.” Eligibility is extended to all district employees and volunteers. How to Nominate
District Recognition Ceremony Selected staff members and volunteers will be recognized at an official ceremony of the Board of Trustees meeting scheduled on March 24, 2020 at 4:30 pm. We hope that you will take a careful look around you and consider those individuals who have demonstrated outstanding qualities for students, parents, the community, or other staff members during this school year.

LCAP Survey for Parents
Dear DUSD Parents and Families, The State of California requires that all school districts in California develop a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). All districts in the state are beginning to develop a new LCAP for the next three years. The LCAP, a critical part of the Local Control Funding Formula, requires school districts to gather input from students, parents, staff, and community members to determine the goals, actions, and budget priorities for the district. Districts must also use data from the California School Dashboard to determine funding priorities, which are based on the eight State priorities. The State priorities are:

For an entire week, students will explore monuments and memorials; discuss current issues; engage in debates; meet with members of Congress and make friends with students from across the country! Furthermore, students will witness one of the most exciting DC events, a presidential inauguration, which only takes place every 4 years in Washington.
