District Prepares for 2025-26 Enrollment Changes
Chief Business Officer Bharathi Lakshmanan presented the latest enrollment projections and school capacity plans. The data shows enrollment will likely decline further in 2025-26 and 2026-27 due to demographic trends and lower birth rates. For 2025-26, the district anticipates 88 fewer students. Despite this decline, schools are ready to accommodate the additional transitional kindergarten (TK) classrooms required for the upcoming school year. See the presentation slides for details.

The Board accepted $13,600 in donations for Blackford, Sherman Oaks, CSI, Castlemont, and CUSD Student Services. These donations came from the Assistance League of Los Gatos-Saratoga, Blackbaud Giving Fund, Campbell Police Officers Association, Castlemont Home & School Club, Hilda Garcia Leon, and Synopsis of Silicon Valley Foundation. Thank you donors!

District Announces New Immigration Resources Page

A Message from Superintendent Viramontez

A happy group of 5 primary grade students of diverse ethnicities

Campbell Union School  District is committed to supporting every student, parent and guardian in helping children reach their full potential and pursue a path to success. We are aware that some members of our immigrant community may now be facing uncertainties and challenges. Please know that we are here to assist our families to the best of our ability by providing resources, information, and support. 

Today, we have launched a helpful Immigration Resources web page with tools and information available to the community. We also joined several districts in an open letter to the community affirming that we will stand firmly in support of students and families regardless of their citizenship status. Please see the links at the bottom of this message.

Our district’s top priority is ensuring that our schools remain safe, inclusive spaces for all learners. We work daily to foster an environment where every student feels valued and supported.  

We’d like to emphasize the critical importance of consistent school attendance for academic success, and we deeply appreciate the partnership of parents and guardians in making this possible. 

We thank you for your continued collaboration and dedication to paving the way for our students’ bright future. Together, we can ensure that every child has access to the educational opportunities they deserve.  

Sincerely, 

Dr. Shelly Viramontez, Superintendent
