The school reorganization team will serve a critical role in advising and providing feedback on potential school reorganization plans that are developed. All final decisions on school reorganization will be made by the Board of Education.
The reorganization team's last meeting was held on September 1, 2021. All meetings of the school reorganization team are available to view on the AUSD YouTube channel. 

The school reorganization team consists of parents, bargaining unit members, principals, and district administrators. The team members are Amber Fish, Anthony Contreras, Antonio Flores, Diana Ochoa, Diana Rojas, Edna Rodgers, Gabriel Fernandez, Kim Tse, Laurie Wray, Luz Fields, Marji Aveson, Mayra Rico, Melissa Wilson, Patricia Loera, Patricia Sanchez, Karen Rouggly, Kimberly Rios, Jennie Pielstick, Leslie Jones, Yvette Valdez, Sonia Hernandez, Megan Savella, Arturo Ortega, Jorge Ronquillo, Dayna Mitchell, Latasha Jamal, Anjelica Juarez.

This meeting of the school reorganization team began with Mr. Ortega summarizing where the team is currently at in the recommendation process. At the last meeting, the team decided they would like to view the results of the parent, student, and staff reorganization surveys before taking a team vote on which model(s) to recommend to the Board of Education. The surveys were closed in August, and the results were sent to the team to review.

After reviewing the process to this point, Mr. Ortega asked the team if they desired to send one recommendation to the Board of Education or if they desired to send two models in addition to the data collected from the surveys and the team vote that would be taken later in the meeting. The overwhelming consensus from the team was that they would like to send both models to the Board of Education. The team shared final comments on the survey data they reviewed and offered final comments. After, Mr. Ortega requested that the team vote on which model they preferred. 

42.1% of the team voted for model 3.

57.9% of the team voted for model 4.
