Meadows Union School District

What Meadows Union School District does

Meadows Union Elementary School District is a public TK-8 grade school district operating a single campus at 2059 Bowker Road in El Centro, Imperial County, California. The district is governed by an elected five-member Board of Education and led by Superintendent Keila Rodriguez, Principal Tracy Canalez, and Assistant Superintendent Cynthia Beltran. It serves students from Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade in a rural, primarily Spanish-speaking and migrant-family community in the Imperial Valley.

The district delivers a comprehensive K-8 program anchored by core academic instruction and supplemented by a portfolio of federally and state-funded programs: Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) for before/after-school and summer enrichment; Child Nutrition Program providing free breakfast and lunch to all students via the USDA Community Eligibility Provision; Migrant Education Program with medical, dental, and optical support; Circle of Friends inclusion program for students experiencing social isolation; California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP) wraparound services; Special Education; and athletics for grades 5-8 including boys basketball and girls softball. Technology stack consists of Edlio for website/content management and mobile app, ParentVue/Edupoint as the Student Information System, Clever for single sign-on into learning applications, Zoom for parent meetings, and Laserfiche Forms for interdistrict transfers.

The district is funded primarily through California state education funding formulas, federal Title I and Title III programs, special education funds, USDA child nutrition reimbursements, and state grants including CCSPP. There is no tuition; education is free for California residents within the attendance area. Distribution is direct: parents enroll students through the ParentVue online portal or in-person registration, and the district operates three bus routes (Blue, Yellow, Green combined) for transportation. Labor relations are governed by active collective bargaining agreements with the Meadows Union Teachers Association (MUTA, FY 25-26 & 26-27) and California School Employees Association Chapter 829 (CSEA, 2024-2026).
