Eastside Union School District

What Eastside Union School District does

Eastside Union School District (EUSD) is a California public K-8 school district headquartered in Lancaster, California, serving the Antelope Valley region of northern Los Angeles County. The district operates seven schools—five elementary schools (Columbia, Eastside, Enterprise, Tierra Bonita, and Eastside Academy), one middle school (Gifford C. Cole Middle School), plus a Community Center—providing free public education to students from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade. Enrollment is geographically assigned by residence address within district boundaries, with transfer options available. The district serves a diverse student population including English Learners, students with disabilities, foster youth, and homeless youth, with specialized programs such as the United Friends Scholars Program (11-year foster youth college-and-career continuum) and McKinney-Vento homeless support services.

EUSD's technology infrastructure is built on standard educational SaaS platforms rather than proprietary systems: Aeries for the student information system and Parent/Teacher Portals, ClassLink for single sign-on, Google Workspace for collaboration, Edlio for web/content management, iReady for diagnostic assessment, Frontline (formerly Aesop) for substitute staffing, GetHelp for technology ticketing, PeachJar for digital communications, and Move This World for social-emotional learning content. The district has deployed Attention2Attendance (A2A), a patented attendance management platform, as its primary differentiated operational technology. EUSD has no AI/ML capabilities disclosed beyond adaptive features of third-party assessment tools.

EUSD is a government entity with no private ownership; it is funded entirely through California Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), federal Title I funding, and other state/local government allocations, providing services at no cost to students and families. Leadership is provided by an elected Board of Trustees and Superintendent Dr. Jezelle Fullwood, with Dr. Tinisha Hamberlin appointed as incoming superintendent effective July 15, 2026. The district supplements its core educational offering through strategic partnerships—ELOP programming with RISE Educational Services and HOKALI, mental health services via Care Solace, and community support through Project Joy, AVPH, and Rescue Mission Alliance—creating a wraparound service model.
