Superintendent's Message - March 2026

As we enter the spring season, March brings both meaningful conversations about our future and important celebrations of the work happening across our schools each day.

Repurposing Conversations Continue

This month we continue our discussions regarding the potential repurposing of Echo Canyon School. These conversations are part of our broader responsibility to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability while positioning SUSD to deliver exceptional opportunities for students.

I invite our community to attend a public meeting at Echo Canyon School on March 3 at 5:30 p.m., where three potential partners will present their proposals and answer questions. Your voice matters. Thoughtful feedback from families, neighbors, and staff help guide responsible decisions for our district’s future.
