History
When the Inglewood Union High School District, now known as the Centinela Valley Union High School District (CVUHSD), formed in 1905, the Inglewood elementary school district was within its territory. The name of the high school district changed to its current name on November 1, 1944. On July 1, 1954, the Inglewood elementary school district withdrew from CVUSD and became a unified school district that also operated high schools.[3]

Fiscal Crisis and Legislative Intervention
Serving the community for over a century, IUSD has undergone significant challenges, notably highlighted in the legislative intervention of Senate Bill 533 (SB 533) in 2012. On September 14, 2012, the Governor sanctioned SB 533 to address the pressing financial issues within IUSD.[4] The legislation, accompanied by a state-approved emergency appropriation of $55 million aimed to prevent fiscal insolvency, ensuring the district's ability to meet its financial obligations.[4] The bill mandated the development of assessment and improvement plans for the district, with an annual comprehensive review conducted by the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT).[5] IUSD bears 100% of the costs associated with implementing the FCMAT review.[6] Additionally, SB 533 appropriated $29,000,000 from the state's General Fund as an emergency loan, specifying the procedures for repayment.[6]
The fiscal crisis stemmed from several factors, including the overstatement of average daily attendance (ADA), understatement of California State Teachers' Retirement System payments, inaccuracies in certified salary expenses, continued deficit spending, and a decline in enrollment.[4]
