Brea Olinda Unified School District is the school district serving the City of Brea in Orange County, California, United States. It also serves portions of the nearby cities of Fullerton, Yorba Linda and La Habra.
The school district consists of:
- 6 elementary schools
- 1 junior high school
- 1 high school
- 1 continuation high school
The District has completed design plans for a new elementary school at the corner of Birch and Valencia. However, construction is on hold as the school district waits for developer fees from three major housing projects in Brea.
The District has made a foray into the digital age by upgrading their schools with audio visual technology, including:
- Hitachi CP-X 2010 Projectors
- Elmo TT-02 Document Cameras
- Technology Workstand AV Carts
In doing so, the district hopes to keep students more involved by incorporating interesting and new teaching styles, and save money that would have been otherwise spent on supplying teachers with clear sheets for overhead projectors.
This statement about the av cart and av technology integration was made by Christine Olmstead, the technology director for the school district:
"Security Works company has been outstanding in helping us design a Mobile Technology Workstand to accommodate our 21st Century Classrooms at an affordable price. Our Electronic Document Cameras, Laptops, and Projectors all fit securely on one mobile stand that can move around a classroom or between classrooms to share."

Famous quotes containing the words unified, school and/or district:
“Under weak government, in a wide, thinly populated country, in the struggle against the raw natural environment and with the free play of economic forces, unified social groups become the transmitters of culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
