fIC Merced - Fresno tlnified School District Partnership
1n2009, UC Merced and Fresno Unified School District (FUSD)
established a groundbreaking body of work focused on equity and
access for all students. The mission is to ensure students are given an
equal opportunity to graduate from high school and have the greatest
number of postsecondary choices from the widest array of options.
To more rapidly advance this unique parhrership - as well as to
support excel- lence in research, public service
and teaching - Associate Vice Chancellor Jorge Aguilar was granted a leave of absence from
UC Merced to work at Fresno Unified School District.
Fresno Unified School District is the fourth-largest district in California, with more than 73,000
students. With Aguilar serving as associate superintendent for equity and access and special
assistant to FUSD Superintendent Michael Hanson, both UC Merced and FUSD are seeing
encouraging outcomes from this partnership.
Equity and access are the backbone of the partnership between Fresno Unif,red and UC Merced.
When implemented, this focus on equity und a""".s is envisioned to result in new protocols that
ensure students are given an equal opporlunity to graduate and have the greatest number of
postsecondary choices.
These protocols are envisioned to have an impact on students' academic and social- emotional
well-being - and, by extension, the well-being of the community.
UC Merced's unique partnership with Fresno Unifred School District is expected to continue
yielding immediate benefits to students as well as important lessons learned that will guide the
future work of both UC Merced and FUSD in this area.
ASSOCIATE VICE CHANCELLOR'S MESSAGE I Jorge Aguitar
founding chancellor carol romlinson-Keasey approved the establishment
the Center for Educational Partnerships in 2002,we had a vision, but no
nding to make it a reality. In fact, we operated one academic partnership
program with a staff of seven. There were scarcely enough resources to realize the goal intrinsic
to our vision: creating equal opportunities for all students to graduate from secondary schools
with the greatest number of postsecondary choices from the widest array of options.
Today, with 41 staff members and investments from state, federal and private sources exceeding
$15 million, we are closer than ever to seeing that vision become a reality - a vision based on
our steadfast commitment to advance equity and access for educationally disadvaniagedstudents
and families across the San Joaquin Valley.
We know that state and federal accountability standards do not incentivize schools to focus on
higher education-related matters. Therefore, over the past 10 years, we have remained committed
to pursuing and learning the best ways to collaborate with school districts across the San Joaquin
Valley.
In that period, we have been forhrnate to identify partner school districts willing to adopt and
focus on advancing our equity and access principles. Our collaboration with those school
districts has provided clear evidence that public schools and institutions
of higher education both benefit when partnerships are genuine. We have seen the benefits to
students and entire families when we all focus on empowering educationally disadvantaged
students and families.
As the newest campus of the University of California system, UC Merced was built with the
hope of designing and implementing a distinctive vision
and culture as an institution of higher learning that San Joaquin Valley residents would call "our
university." Our 41 staff members of the Center for Educational Partnerships are proud to call
this campus "our university," and we stand ready to continue collaborating with school districts
across our Valley.
Our commitment to focus on equity and access for students and families is unquestionable, and
we look forward to the next 10 years of perfecting the outcomes that are embodied in our vision!
