ABOUT MUSD

Welcome to the Manteca Unified School District, where our commitment to using measurable, and aligned data so that all students can work to achieve academic and individual success is at the forefront of every decision!

At MUSD, we are dedicated to fostering an educational environment where every student has the opportunity to achieve grade level standards, feel safe, and receive the support needed to realize their individual potential.

Ultimately, MUSD’s focus remains fixed on improving student outcomes: one student, one standard, and one lesson at a time.

We believe that by prioritizing the needs of our students, we can remove learning barriers and cultivate an equitable community where academic excellence and personal growth flourish. Our data-driven dedicated team of educators, administrators, and staff work collaboratively to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive atmosphere, ensuring that every student has access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.

To help stay true to our vision and mission, Manteca Unified has developed a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which is a three-year strategic plan, that the district uses to address how MUSD intends to use every dollar. This makes MUSD unique when compared to other districts because we ensure every dollar has a goal, plan and purpose based on student needs. This forward-thinking process has positioned our district in a zero-sum budget for the 2023-24 school year.
