During our last installment, we shared how our community's voice shaped Measure J. Today, we dive into our 6 District Standards - the core priorities established to create safe, modern, and inclusive learning environments for all students. These standards were carefully crafted based on the consistent needs assessed across all WCSD elementary campuses, and were Board-approved to ensure consistent, equitable upgrades at each of our schools.
District Standards - guiding every design, shaping every space

What are the Measure J District Standards?

  1. Learning Environments → Flexible, future-ready classrooms designed for collaboration & creativity to empower student learning
  2. Tiered Supports → Dedicated spaces for student services & well-being
  3. Specialized & Common Areas → Inclusive spaces for hands-on learning, teamwork & innovation
  4. Safety & Security →Thoughtfully designed single-entry points, safe exits & campus security enhancements
  5. Child Nutrition → Modern, welcoming spaces where students connect and build relationships over shared, healthy meals, as recognized by WCSD's Gold certification from Eat Real
