Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) is the second largest school district in Orange County, California and the 95th largest in the United States. The school district serves the following cities:

The CUSD runs 38 elementary schools (plus 1 closed), 10 middle schools, 5 high schools and 2 alternative education programs.

The Capistrano Unified School District has a seven-member Board of Trustees, with each trustee representing one of seven geographic areas within the school district. Each trustee is elected at large and serves a four-year term of office.

Trustees are:

  • Sheila J. Benecke, President (Area 5)
  • Anna Bryson, Vice President (Area 4)
  • Mike Darnold, Clerk (Area 1)
  • Marlene Draper, Area 2
  • Dr. Duane E. Stiff, Area 3
  • Ellen Addonizio, Area 6
  • Larry Christensen, Area 7

The Board of Trustees is the policymaking body for the school district. It is charged with providing a quality educational program for students in grades kindergarten through 12 in accordance with the California Constitution, the laws of the state, adopted Board policies, and the desires of the community.

As elected officials, trustees are state officers responsible for the governance of a political subdivision of the state. The school district is independent of city and county governments, but cooperates with them.

In addition to establishing school district policies, the Board adopts an annual budget and approves all expenditures, employs personnel, approves curriculum, textbooks and courses of study, and makes decisions on school sites, building plans and construction contracts.

Trustees have no power to act individually in the name of the Board. Action can be taken only when the Board is in formal session with a majority of its members present.

The chief administrative officer of the Capistrano Unified School District is no longer James A. Fleming, who resigned at the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year. An interim Superintendent has joined the board. The Superintendent acts as Secretary to the Board of Trustees.

The administration of the school district is delegated by Trustees to a professional administrative staff headed by the Superintendent.

CUSD’s mission, in partnership with the home and our richly diverse community, is to educate students and to assist them in realizing their full potential as responsible, productive, and contributing members of society by providing an educational environment in which students are challenged, excellence is expected and differences are valued.
