EEEA Resolution Supporting Unification of EUSD and EUHSD, 2011

Whereas, we believe unification of EUSD and EUHSD would result in improved student achievement through a clearly articulated K-12 education plan for college readiness; and

Whereas, we believe unification of EUSD and EUHSD would create a single, more financially stable unified school District; and

Whereas, we believe unification of EUSD and EUHSD would result in streamlined educational offerings, including a single school-year calendar, for Escondido children and their families; and

Whereas, we believe unification of EUSD and EUHSD would provide increased options for current and future employees, therefore increasing a Unified District’s ability to hire and retain the best and brightest; and

Whereas, we believe unification of EUSD and EUHSD would result in a more unified Escondido Community.

Now, therefore,

On behalf of all members of the Escondido Elementary Educators Association (EEEA), the EEEA Representative Council respectfully requests that the School Board Trustees of EUSD and EUHSD take the actions necessary to initiate the process of unification of the Escondido Union School District and the Escondido Union High School District.
