In April 2017, the Board of Trustees approved the San Leandro Unified School District's new strategic plan and goals, designed to guide us as a school system focused on transformative learning where students are challenged to be critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, effective communicators and involved citizens. See below for the five key goals we will focus on over the next three years as well as the initiatives underneath each.
