Welcome. About Us.

We Are Many.

With a focus on equity
and well-being, we lead
District strategy to
improve our built
environment.

Superintendent Dr. Hilaria Bauer created a Long Range Facilities planning team in 2022. She brought together community members and experts working in academics, sustainability, outdoor education, and energy transition to inform the Long Range Facilities Plan. We are all united under one District umbrella to do the work of addressing change with a focus on equity and local opportunities for all students, families, and the ARUSD education workforce.

As ARUSD families know, our District is already experiencing a variety of challenges, including demographic shifts, a need for housing, climate hazards, aging buildings, and energy cost transitions. In response, we developed a strategic Long Range Facilities Plan so ARUSD may thrive in an uncertain future.

Our team emphasized an inclusive, participatory process for a wide range of input. We facilitated focus groups with educational leadership, teachers, staff, parents, and students; online surveys, and visioning workshops with School Site Committees  from October 2022 – June 2023. Town Halls provided further input on campus plans. This robust process created a shared vision and strategies to evolve our learning environments, support our communities, and look to the future.

Three Holistic Frameworks

Buildings and Land Use Framework includes strategic development and building renewal plans to advance our academic mission.

Sustainability Framework adopts energy use strategies to advance State and institutional goals to address a range of energy and environmental justice issues.

Equity Framework provides workforce housing opportunities to attract and retain individuals and families within our community.
