San Leandro Unified School District

What San Leandro Unified School District does

San Leandro Unified School District (SLUSD) is a California public K-12 unified school district headquartered at 2600 Teagarden Street in San Leandro, California, operating 16 schools across the city — 8 elementary schools (TK-5), 2 middle schools (grades 6-8), 2 high schools (San Leandro High School and Lincoln High School continuation), the San Leandro Virtual Academy, and the San Leandro Adult and Career Education Center. It serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade plus adult learners, with defined segments including K-12 students and families, foster youth, and adult learners, and offers specialized programs such as Dual Language Immersion, Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways, English Learner programs, Special Education, and Foster Youth support.

The district's operating technology stack is commodity K-12 ed-tech: Aeries serves as the Student Information System (parent portal, teacher gradebook, attendance, communications); Schoology is the Learning Management System; Clever provides single sign-on across ed apps; Google Workspace for Education handles staff and student productivity; Frontline Education manages substitute/absence workflows; and ParentSquare plus Aeries Communications drive family outreach. Integration with external data sources includes AirNow and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District for environmental decisions, and Brainfuse Help Now for virtual academy tutoring. The district has no proprietary models, APIs, or custom platform — all capabilities are delivered via third-party vendors.

SLUSD is a government state entity, not a commercial enterprise, and is funded through California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) — a combination of local property taxes, state apportionments, and federal grants — supplemented by the Measure I parcel tax and capital construction bond proceeds (Measures J and N). There is no tuition or fee charged to district residents; pricing is effectively "free K-12 public education" with costs borne by taxpayers. The go-to-market is a sales-led enrollment motion where families register at their resident school based on geographic attendance boundaries, with intra-district and inter-district transfer options and outreach via community events, school tours, and ParentSquare communications. Recent product expansion includes the San Leandro Virtual Academy (logo dated October 2022) and an integrated mental health and wellness program operated in partnership with the Native American Health Center (Barbara Lee Center for Health & Wellness).
