LBUSD previews expanded 2025 summer offerings; district anticipates 900 enrollments
Summary
Laguna Beach Unified previewed a multi-track summer program for 2025 that includes a high-school summer academy (credit recovery, ELD writer's workshop, pilot hybrid health), a K–8 Summer Academy, Extended School Year (IEP), LEAD (550 students), TK/kinder camps, and partnerships with Boys & Girls Club; staff said about 900 enrollments are anticipated and provided start/end dates for programs.
District staff presented an expanded slate of summer programming for 2025, telling the board the offerings span preschool through 12th grade and are designed for learning recovery, enrichment and career exposure.
Highlights include a high-school Summer Academy (credit recovery, ELD writer's workshop, pilot hybrid health course) beginning June 20 to maximize instructional days and avoid July 4 conflicts; a four-week K–8 Summer Academy focused on small-group literacy and math intervention; Extended School Year services for IEP students with small class sizes; the LEAD program (two-week immersive enrichment) with 550 students and 140 unique classes, and TK/kinder readiness camps. The district reported about 900 anticipated enrollments and described transportation and volunteer mentor supports (high school mentors earning community service hours).
Staff described partnerships — notably with the Boys & Girls Club to provide full-day, no-cost programming for qualifying students — and new course offerings (journalism, health professions, fashion design, culinary challenges and more). Board members asked about enrollment windows, overlap between programs and whether non-LBUSD students may enroll; staff said programs are primarily for current LBUSD students and many courses are grant- or district-funded and free to participants.
The board approved related summer program proposals and associated MOUs and staffing items on the consent and action calendars.
