At Brentwood Union School District, we believe our schools and offices should be welcoming, safe, and productive places for students, families, and staff.

The BUSD Board of Trustees has adopted a Commitment to Civility (click here) to establish consistent expectations for respectful and productive interactions throughout our school community. Because students learn from the adults around them, we all share a responsibility to model the kindness, patience, and constructive communication we want to see in them.

Our commitment includes:

• Speaking respectfully

• Listening to understand

• Assuming positive intent

• Focusing on solutions

• Supporting productive interactions

• Maintaining a safe and welcoming environment

Disagreements may occur, but conversations should remain focused on working together to resolve concerns and support positive outcomes for students.

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure every member of the BUSD community feels safe, supported, and valued.
