A Bold New Chapter: Launching the LBUSD 2024–2029 Strategic Plan
By Superintendent Jill A. Baker, Ed.D.
This school year marks a significant milestone as we proudly launch the LBUSD 2024-2029 Strategic Plan: Creating a Better Future Together — a plan deeply rooted in our Vision 2035 aspirations. Our Vision 2035 portraits — Graduate, Adult, and System — guide us in reimagining a district where every student thrives and where our collective efforts lead to transformative change.
Our strategic plan is organized around four key themes that will shape the future of LBUSD:
- High-Quality Learning for Students: Equitable access to high-quality learning experiences for all students.
- Equitable and Liberatory District: Dismantle systems of oppression by eliminating barriers to equitable access and outcomes. Develop a diverse workforce that reflects the community we serve and improves our system’s cultural dexterity and inclusiveness.
- Partnering with the Community: Create a system-wide culture of authentic community engagement to strengthen relationships and community trust.
- Cultivating Transformative Change: Establish a system-wide project management culture and practice. Strengthen the sustainability and climate resilience of our school district. Develop a coherent, system-wide culture and structure of adult learning.
