<p>
Since the founding of the University of California, Berkeley in 1868 and the establishment of Berkeley&rsquo;s first high school in 1879, Berkeley&rsquo;s community has been proud to be a leader in public education. In 1968, the Berkeley Unified School District was the nation&rsquo;s first school district to desegregate without a court order. What you should know about our District:</p><br>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>Students are our priority.</li>
<li>We take pride in our diversity.</li>
<li>We hold high expectations for ourselves and our students.</li>
<li>We treat each other with respect and act with integrity.</li>
</ul>
<p>Berkeley Unified is responsible for educating more than 9,400 individual students in 11 public elementary schools, 3 middle schools, one comprehensive high school, and an alternative high school. In addition, the district has 3 preschool facilities and an Adult School serving several thousand students each year. With a tradition of excellence rooted in a vibrant community, Berkeley Unified alumni have become national and international leaders in business, civic society, politics, academia, sports and the arts. Students and staff in Berkeley Unified come from a wide variety of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, surrounded by one of the most intellectually and culturally rich regions in the United States.</p>
<p>
The Mission, Vision, Values, and Goals of Berkeley Unified are encapsulated in the four E&rsquo;s:</p>
<ul>
<li>Excellence</li>
<li>Equity</li>
<li>Engagement</li>
<li>Enrichment</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Excellence</b> in Learning, in Teaching, and in Service to our Students and Families</p>
<p><b>
Equity</b> in Access, in Resource Allocation, and Educational Outcomes</p>
<p><b>
Engagement </b>with Parents, Guardians, Families, and Community</p>
<p><b>
Enrichment</b> in Curriculum with Music &amp; the Arts, Libraries, Gardens &amp; Nutrition, Science &amp; Health, Physical Education &amp; Sports</p>
<p><b>
Parent and Community Involvement</b><br>
The Vision for BUSD is one in which parents, family, and community are an integral part of each school. When parents and families get personally involved in education, their children do better in school and grow up to be more successful in life. This is why Berkeley has dedicated resources and specialized staff to support the home-school partnership and to give all parents/guardians access to understanding opportunities and services available for their children.</p>
<p><b>
Public Support</b><br>
Over the past 25 years, the Berkeley Unified School District&rsquo;s ability to provide well-rounded educational resources and opportunities to all students has been significantly boosted by the generous financial support of local taxes that augment the General Fund for specific purposes.</p>
<p>
Berkeley voters have overwhelmingly supported the <b>Berkeley Schools Excellence Program (BSEP)</b>, a special local tax first adopted in 1986 and renewed consistently since then, most recently as Measure A in 2006. (1986 to present)</p>
<p>
Berkeley voters are as committed to the safety and modernization of school and district facilities as to the students and educational programs they house, most recently evidenced in the renewal of a maintenance special tax and a new facilities bond in 2010.</p>
<ul>
<li>Facilities Bonds (1992, Measure BB of 2002, Measure I of 2010)</li>
<li>Maintenance Parcel Tax (Measure H of 2010)</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Very Low Class Size</b><br>
Berkeley Public schools have among the lowest class sizes in the state. While many school districts have exceeded 20 students in kindergarten through third grade, thanks to the BSEP tax measure Berkeley has maintained 20:1 since 1984. Grades 4 and 5 classrooms have average student-teacher ratios of 26-1, again much lower than the state average.</p>
<ul>
<li>All Berkeley elementary schools have fewer students than the state average of 525 students &mdash; in fact, the Berkeley average is 375.</li>
<li>The average student-teacher ratio in academic classrooms in middle school is less than 28:1, and many math classes are 20:1.</li>
<li>The average student-teacher ratio in academic classrooms in high schools is 28:1.</li>
</ul>
<p>Because the Berkeley community recognizes that public education is the cornerstone of a productive, creative, and healthy society, all of our schools benefit from the generosity of monetary and in-kind donations. Visit our &ldquo;Public Support&rdquo; page to find out more about the generosity and commitment of our supporters and how the many different funding and volunteer organizations enhance each child&rsquo;s education in the Berkeley Public Schools.</p></div></div>
