LBUSD has been named a 2025 California Green Ribbon School Green Achiever Honoree by the California Department of Education—one of only five recipients statewide to earn the program’s highest honor. The designation recognizes LBUSD’s efforts in promoting environmental sustainability, supporting health and wellness, and advancing environmental literacy throughout the district.

At its regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, March 20, the LBUSD Board of Education adopted a resolution approving the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the LBHS Pool Modernization Project. The adoption of this resolution completes the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, which requires that public school districts assess environmental impacts before moving forward with major construction.

LBUSD is introducing AI Trust You, a Google Chrome extension designed to bring clarity and accountability to AI usage in classrooms. In addition to launching the tool within LBUSD, the district has made it available to school systems across the nation.
