Hermosa Beach board adopts 2025–28 strategic plan with SMART goals for instruction, inclusion and community
Summary
The board voted to adopt a three‑year strategic plan that sets measurable (SMART) goals for academic rigor, inclusion and family engagement and directs the superintendent to implement and report progress annually.
The Hermosa Beach City School District Board of Education on Wednesday adopted the district's 2025–2028 strategic plan, directing the superintendent to implement the plan and report progress to the board at least annually.
Superintendent Dr. Wildes summarized the plan as a roadmap rooted in the district vision and mission, saying the effort “feels like we've been talking about this since last February.” The plan sets specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time‑bound (SMART) outcomes across three priorities: excellence (academic rigor and achievement), inclusion (welcoming and safe environments), and community (family–school partnerships).
Key actions and metrics: The plan includes target metrics and timeframes (for example, specific percentage increases in ELA, math and science scores by June 2026), goals to reduce referrals that result in psychoeducational assessments by strengthening core instruction, initiatives on digital citizenship and AI integration in instruction, and measures to increase parent education opportunities and staff training on inclusive practices. The plan also ties safety and bond‑related infrastructure work to the community goal.
Why it matters: The plan translates community and stakeholder input — including more than 865 survey responses and multiple board workshops — into prioritized actions and measurable benchmarks. The district posted the plan and supporting raw data on its website and plans outreach to staff and families to operationalize the plan and a district “learner profile.”
Board action: The board moved and seconded the resolution to adopt the plan and voted in favor. The superintendent is authorized to implement the plan and report progress annually.
