Alta Loma School District

What Alta Loma School District does

Alta Loma School District (ALSD) is a California public K-8 school district operating ten schools — eight elementary (transitional kindergarten through grade 6) and two junior high (grades 6–8) — across approximately 25 square miles in northern Rancho Cucamonga and adjoining unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County, roughly 40 miles east of Los Angeles. The district serves the TK-8 student population residing within its boundaries and delivers state-standards-aligned core instruction in English Language Arts (California Journeys K-5, StudySync 6-8), Mathematics (SAVVAS Envision Math K-5, Big Ideas Math 6-8), Science (Amplify Science K-8, NGSS-aligned), and Social Studies (Studies Weekly K-5, TCI History Alive 6-8), supplemented by Transitional Kindergarten, a Spanish Dual Language Immersion program, English Learner services, Title I, special education, and a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework integrating PBIS and Character Strong SEL curriculum. Supporting services include the EXPLORE before/after-school care program, CHAMPS Preschool, ALIA Long Term Independent Study, Child Nutrition (Universal Meals Program offering free breakfast and lunch), the Home Hospital Program, and Foster Youth/McKinney-Vento liaison services.

The district's technology ecosystem is built around Clever as the Single Sign-On hub, Infinite Campus as the Student Information System, Google Workspace for Education for classroom delivery, and a custom Apptegy-powered mobile app with Rooms (Edurooms) for parent-teacher communication. There is no evidence of proprietary technology development, AI/ML capability, or differentiated platform IP; the stack is composed of standard third-party educational software widely used across U.S. K-12 districts.

ALSD is a government entity with no commercial revenue model. Funding flows through California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), federal grants (notably USDA Child Nutrition reimbursements enabling the Universal Meals Program), voter-approved General Obligation Bonds (Measure H, $58 million in November 2016, funding modernization and technology), and fee-based program revenue from the EXPLORE before/after-school program ($110–$440/month tiers). The district is governed by a five-member elected Board of Trustees operating under by-trustee-area elections adopted in November 2020, with operational oversight from Superintendent Dr. Sherry Smith and a leadership team including Associate Superintendent Eric Hart, Assistant Superintendents Christina Pierce (Educational Services) and Cara Cerecerez (Human Resources), and Directors of Educational Programs, Information Technology, Fiscal Services, Child Nutrition, and Maintenance/Operations/Transportation.
