Long Beach Unified Affirms Commitment to Our Community

As we anticipate a transition in our federal government, we move forward together, guided by our Board of Education’s Vision 2035  and our district’s Strategic Plan, Creating a Better Future Together. Through these aspirations and plan, we affirm our deep commitment to our students, families and community. Our core principles are unwavering: students are at the heart of everything we do. We will continue to nurture students’ growth, support their learning and empower them to thrive in school and beyond. With compassion and conviction, adults in our system stand firmly with students and families who are furthest from justice and opportunity, knowing that when we lead for them, we create a stronger, more inclusive environment for everyone.

To our Black, newcomer and immigrant youth; our LGBTQ+ youth; our students with disabilities; our students experiencing housing insecurity; and other youth facing systemic inequities—we stand with you and for you. We are here to ensure you succeed inside and outside the classroom, to encourage you to dream big and to feel fully supported.

Our commitment to excellence and equity inspires our work every day. Our Vision 2035 Graduate, Adult and System Portraits shape a community rooted in care, mutual respect and shared aspirations. Guided by these values, we work to make our schools safe, supportive spaces where students feel valued, cared for and empowered to be their authentic selves.

Let us continue fostering an environment of compassion, encouragement and high expectations for all students and one another. We are deeply grateful for partnering with our community and look forward to a bright, prosperous future for every learner in our care.
