Los Angeles Unified 2026-30 Strategic Plan
The Los Angeles Unified 2026-30 Strategic Plan was unanimously approved by the Board of Education on June 23, 2026. This plan represents the culmination of extensive collaboration, engagement, and thoughtful planning across our District community. The District conducted more than 70 engagement sessions and received input from students, families, staff, labor partners, community organizations, advisory groups, and educational partners. Their voices helped shape the priorities, goals, and direction reflected in the plan. The themes we heard consistently were student learning and achievement, equity and access, mental health and wellness, and communication and engagement. Those themes are reflected throughout the five pillars and District goals.
This Strategic Plan builds upon the progress achieved under our 2022-26 Strategic Plan while sharpening our focus on the outcomes that matter most for students. It builds on meaningful progress we have made over the last four years while positioning us for the work ahead and reaffirms our commitment to ensuring every student graduates Ready for the World and prepared to thrive in college, career, and life.
The 2026-30 Strategic Plan continues to drive our vision, mission, goals, priorities, and measures of success. This plan reflects a deliberate shift from focusing primarily on activities to focusing on outcomes. This plan moves us from asking, “What activities did we complete?” to asking, “What outcomes did our students achieve?”
This plan is also designed to be a living document and adaptable while not changing the goals we have set for the District. Staff will provide annual progress updates to the Board and will make adjustments as necessary to ensure we remain focused on improving outcomes for students.
Adoption of this Strategic Plan before the start of the 2026-27 school year provides a shared vision and common direction for our schools, offices, and departments as we continue our work on behalf of the students and families we serve.
