District Administration

Welcome

The district administrative team works to support the sites in the education of district students.

Various levels of school site administration has provided district administrators with valuable background and insight to assist current site administrators. The district administration carries out the goals and objectives of the District Strategic Plan approved by the Oakdale Joint Unified School Board.
