  • A Message of Gratitude from the TVUSD School Board

    The Board would like to sincerely thank the TVUSD school community for your support, guidance, and partnership. Our students have opportunities both in and out of the classroom because our school community truly values academic excellence, access to extra-curricular opportunities, clean and safe facilities for our schools and community use, and ensuring that all students are ready for college and career paths. These supports for students and staff are made possible through volunteer efforts, financial support, parent support groups, partnerships with non-profit community groups and local businesses, and the City of Temecula.

    How Can I Engage with the Board?

    The best way to engage with the Board is to attend a board meeting and share your thoughts during public comment or a specific agenda item. The community has elected the Governing Board to provide leadership and citizen oversight to the district. While we do not maintain offices at the District Office or regular office hours, any member of the public can email us via the contacts on the website. Your input, questions, and feedback regarding board agenda items are valuable in assisting us with our decision-making process. Please know that a board member has no individual authority to resolve a problem for issues or concerns that we receive regarding a specific school, staff, or student issue. These matters are referred to the superintendent or designee to address. We are always happy to listen and advise on the next appropriate steps and contacts.
