Transition To The Common Core

On October 17, 2012, the Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD)—California's 11th largest district—launched its strategic plan focused on equity, access, and excellence in education. Serving 44,000 diverse students across 81 campuses, with a notable percentage eligible for free and reduced lunch, SCUSD aims to ensure all students are college and career ready through rigorous curriculum and culturally responsive teaching. This initiative emphasizes high expectations, professional learning, and community engagement to address the unique needs of its multicultural student population.
