From the Superintendent

A Message from Superintendent Meléndez:

At SAUSD we are very fortunate to have one of the best school police agencies in the nation.  They were recently recognized by the Orange County Human Relations Council with the Community-Policing Award for “Creative Strategies to Provide Service and Build Positive Relationships in the Community.”

Along with ensuring the safety of our students and staff, the District strives to build trusting relationships that are driven by the core values of respect, responsibility, and results.  Our school police department exemplifies these core values, and I couldn’t be more proud that they received this special honor. 

According to Marcus Gonzalez, President of the OC Human Relations Council, the SAUSD Police Department was recognized for “providing a safe and secure learning and working environment through a clearly demonstrated community-oriented policing philosophy.” They were one of twelve recipients selected to receive recognition at the OC Human Relations’ AWARDS 41 Gala on May 10, 2012.

Our exemplary school police department is more than deserving of this distinguished award and we value their service and commitment to the district.  Please join me in congratulating David Valentin, Chief of Police of the Santa Ana Unified School District Police Department, and all of his officers and staff.
