History

edit

2020s

edit

In 2024, LVJUSD was placed on a state warning list of schools whose budgets may not meet their projections.[6] District officials said this was due to budget issues from the COVID-19 pandemic and the withdrawal of the associated temporary emergency funds.[6]

Schools

edit

The district operates 19 schools: nine elementary (K–5) schools, three middle (6-8) schools, two TK-8 schools, two comprehensive high schools and two alternative high schools.[2] There previously were also two charter schools in the area, one K-8 and one high school,[citation needed] as well as a third alternative high school.[7] Both of the charter schools were operated by the Tri-Valley Learning Corporation, a local 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization founded by parents and teachers, until they closed due to conflicts of interest and fiscal problems within the corporation.[citation needed] The third alternative high school, Phoenix High, closed in 2013,[7] having previously shared a building with Del Valle High. As of 2024, the schools currently open in the district are:[2]
