Also on on Oct. 24, the AUSD Office of Equity will hold a Family Film and Community Night starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Little Theater at Alameda High School that will include a showing of “Tell Them We are Rising,” a documentary that explores the history of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, followed by a panel discussion with AUSD students on the themes presented in the film.

We also want to make sure the community knows that we have one seat available on the AUSD’s Parcel Tax Oversight Committee. The committee meets four to six times a year to review revenues and expenditures of the district’s parcel taxes and help develop an annual report. You can find more information, as apply for the seat, online at tinyurl.com/AUSD-PTOC.
