ACSA Region 10

To equitably meet the needs of all students, ACSA Region 10 will support the development of equity-minded administrators
in professional development, frequent networking, and mentoring opportunities.

ACSA Region 10 represents school administrators and supervisors in three counties: Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz.  The region reflects the diversity of the area in its geography and demographics. Our school districts’ locations range from remote to rural to suburban and urban. Districts range in size from the one-school-districts with 30 or fewer students to large urban districts with more than 20 schools and 20,000 students.
