Manteca Unified Earns Global Recognition for Fiscal Excellence—Again.

For the fourth year in a row, Manteca Unified School District has earned global recognition for outstanding financial responsibility.

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.—a world-renowned credit rating agency—has reaffirmed MUSD’s strong ‘Aa2’ rating, signaling the district’s exceptional fiscal health and very low credit risk.

Why does this matter to families? Because smart financial planning helps drive what matters most: student achievement.

Behind the scenes, this recognition reflects the District’s thoughtful, strategic approach to budgeting—an approach that ensures classrooms are equipped, teachers are supported, and students have what they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

This rating is more than just a financial milestone. It reflects Manteca Unified’s commitment to making every dollar count—ensuring students, teachers, and classrooms have the resources they need today, while planning for the schools and programs they’ll need tomorrow.

With thoughtful budgeting and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, MUSD continues to invest in safe, welcoming campuses, modern learning environments, and programs that support student success.

“This recognition isn’t about numbers—it’s about trust. It shows that Manteca Unified is using public funds wisely, making sure every dollar goes toward what matters most: creating safe, welcoming schools and strong educational opportunities for all students,” said Chief Business and Information Officer Victoria Brunn. “We remain dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of financial responsibility—because our students deserve nothing less.”

Strategic financial leadership is helping Manteca Unified fund the future—while supporting student achievement today.
