El Rancho Unified School District Home

Effective May 20, 2019, High Performance Learning Environments’ (HPLE) contract is considered terminated. HPLE voluntarily submitted a letter of resignation on May 17, and the District responded on May 20 confirming termination of the District’s agreement with HPLE, subject to board ratification. Upon board ratification, the agreement will be terminated without cause or penalty; the District has requested that HPLE return all applicable records, software, and plans within fourteen days. The Office of the Superintendent is working with the District’s legal counsel to prepare and publish a Request for Qualifications/Request for Proposals (RFQ/RFP) for construction management services in order to ensure the Measure ER bond construction program remains a high-quality, on-schedule and on-budget project. Please feel free to contact the Office of the Superintendent with any questions. We look forward to continuing our work to achieve academic excellence for all students in the El Rancho Unified School District and providing our community with world-class instruction and facilities.

The El Rancho Unified School District Board of Education adopted a Resolution in support of Assembly Bill 493, authored by Assembly Member Todd Gloria. This Resolution encourages school districts to provide LGBTQ+ support and resources training to school site teachers and staff. Schools have been instrumental in providing a safety net against the effects of discrimination and lack of acceptance for the LGBTQ community, which can result in higher dropout rates, lower economic success, higher rates of homelessness, higher rates of substance abuse and suicide. According to the 2017 National School Climate Survey, 82% of LGBTQ students report hearing anti-LGBTQ remarks, 7 in 10 report being called names or threatened based on their sexual orientation, more than one-third report missing at least one day of school because of feeling unsafe, and 49% report cyberbullying. This can negatively affect their academic achievement, as well as their mental and physical health. Read more . . . .
