CARLSBAD UNIFIED CONNECTIONS

SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE

Dr. Ben Churchill, Superintendent

In Carlsbad Unified, Every Student Matters

Is each Carlsbad Unified student getting what he or she needs to learn? Are our classrooms welcoming spaces? Does our staff have the skills and support it needs to meet each student “where they are?”

These are the important questions we are grappling with in CUSD because we believe that every student matters, every student has something to contribute, and every student is worth knowing. We therefore are committed to equity, inclusion, and diversity on our campuses.

Measure HH Update

Measure HH is a $265 million bond initiative approved by the voters in November 2018 to modernize classrooms, science labs and instructional technology that our schools need.

Current progress includes:

Perimeter fencing installed at Buena Vista Elementary, Calavera Hills Elementary and Calavera Hills Middle, Hope Elementary, Kelly Elementary, Magnolia Elementary, and Valley Middle. Pacific Rim and Poinsettia are scheduled for installation this spring.
Visitor management systems installed at all campuses.
Planned groundbreaking on the following projects will occur the week of June 8 - 12, 2020, pending approval from the Division of the State Architect (DSA): Kelly Elementary modernization, Hope elementary modernization, and Magnolia Elementary modernization.
