San Jose Unified School District (SJUSD)

The SJUSD School Board Trustee Area #5 is Sandy Engel.  Take a look at her Web site which contains a list of the schools in the Trustee Area #5 which she represents, her email address, phone number, mailing address, and committee involvement.  The San Jose Unified School District, Trustee Area #5, contains schools in both Almaden Valley and Blossom Valley.    

If you live in the Almaden Valley or are considering moving to the area, there is a Web page where you can find the names of the three SJUSD schools, elementary, middle, and high schools, that serve students at that address.  This San Jose Unified School District School Finder covers all addresses within the District's boundary.
