    New Trustee By Area Election
    Our District is moving forward with the transition to “by-trustee-area” elections, as required by the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA). We’ve just released three new draft map options (2A, 2B, and 5), bringing the total to seven maps for review. You’re invited to take a look at the maps and share your feedback! Community input is a big part of this process, and your comments will help shape the final decision. More information can be found at this District webpage.
     
    Upcoming Public Hearings:

    • Sept 17, 2025 – Second Public Hearing on draft maps, 7:20pm at the District Office Community Room (1212 Pleasant Hill Road, Lafayette).
    • Oct 15, 2025 – Third Public Hearing on final map options, 7:20pm at the District Office Community Room. At this meeting, the Board will select the final trustee-area map for the Nov 2026 elections.

    Can’t make it? You can still email your feedback to trusteeareafeedback@auhsdschools.org or call (925) 942-9649. Thanks for staying engaged and helping shape our District’s future!

    Student Email Information
    The District is committed to providing a safe and secure online environment for our students. The following protocols are in place to support a safe and secure network:

    • Restrictions on External Email to AUHSD Student Accounts – Students do not receive email from outside the District unless the email is from an approved organization. Organizations on the approved list include curriculum providers for AUHSD courses, select educational platforms, and educational organizations such as the College Board, the provider of the PSAT, SAT, and Advanced Placement exams.
    • Internal Email Limits – Students may send email to no more than 25 recipients at one time.

    The following are examples of when students should use their AUHSD email account and when they should use a private email account:

    Hours of operation: Everyday @ lunch, Monday & Wednesday @ Academy, 7th period, and Monday through Thursday after school for 1 hour after the last school bell rings.
