Vista Unified School District has some

components of a coherent framework. • Purpose Statement

• Goal, Focus Statement, and Objectives

Vista Unified does not have an official

vision statement, values, or clearly

defined roles and responsibilities.

The purpose of the Vista Unified School

District is to educate all students to

become responsible citizens who make

positive, intelligent and productive

contributions to their community, state

and nation.
