Superintendent's Message - February 2026

Dear SUSD Families,

As we move into February, I want to take a moment to acknowledge both the important work ahead of us and the many moments of pride that continue to define SUSD.

Across our district, we remain engaged in thoughtful and difficult conversations related to enrollment trends, school repurposing, and long-term fiscal sustainability. These discussions are not easy, but they are necessary to ensure we are making responsible decisions that protect the quality of education our students deserve both today and into the future. I am grateful for the engagement, questions, and respectful dialogue we continue to see in communities across the district.
