The Mount Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD) is a public school district in Contra Costa County, California. It currently operates 32 elementary schools, 10 middle schools and six high schools, with 13 alternative school programs and an adult education program. Mt. Diablo is one of the largest school districts in the state of California, with over 56 school sites and a budget of approximately $270,000,000. Mt. Diablo has over 32,000 K-12 students, over 20,000 adult education students, and over 3,500 employees. The district covers 150 square miles (390 km2), including the cities of Concord, Pleasant Hill and Clayton, portions of Walnut Creek, Pittsburg and Martinez, and unincorporated areas, including Lafayette, Pacheco, Clyde, and Bay Point.
