Templeton Unified School District (TUSD) serves a rural portion of northern San Luis Obispo County and is situated between the larger cities of Atascadero and Paso Robles. TUSD serves students in transitional kindergarten through grade twelve using traditional and alternative education programs with a total school population of 2,350. TUSD provides a robust enrichment program, including technology, engineering, art, music, mock trial, athletics and FFA programs across our system. The district provides students with ample opportunities for enrichment within the school day, including embedded CTE pathways to serve students in high school. Templeton Middle School offers numerous electives to prepare students to pursue these high school pathways. However, a systematic K-5 technology program is not in place to support STEM education in our youngest learners. TUSD would benefit from an intentional and systematic K-12 program related to digital citizenship, robotics, coding, etc. Such a program would also benefit TUSD in advancing college and career readiness opportunities
