Modernizations & Updates
Great communities make great schools, and great schools make great communities!
Your contributions play an important role in maintaining safe and secure campuses, improving access, and updating aging facilities across Manteca Unified.
MUSD uses local funding through bond measures and special taxes, such as Mello-Roos, which allows MUSD to invest in the future of local education by modernizing existing campuses and constructing new facilities.
From new playgrounds and roofing to full school modernizations, MUSD spent $30 million last year improving school campuses.

Lathrop
Early Education Center
By 2025-26, California will require public schools to provide universal transitional kindergarten (UTK) to all 4-year-old children.
In preparation for an influx of young learners, MUSD’s Board of Education has approved two Early Education Centers (EECs), one in Lathrop and one in Manteca.
EECs will create a central location for UTK and kindergarten classes in a nurturing learning environment designed just for young learners. EECs will also maximize classroom space at nearby elementary schools in developing areas.
