LA Unified: We Are One 🤝

The rich diversity that permeates our school communities is one of our defining characteristics and greatest assets. L.A. Unified proudly brings together students from all walks of life, backgrounds, and regions of the world, giving students and staff unparalleled exposure to diverse viewpoints and cultures.

The LA Unified 2025: We Are One campaign formalizes and amplifies the District’s efforts to cultivate welcoming learning environments for all students.

Per the November 2024 LA Unified Board Resolutions, the District is a “sanctuary district” and safe zone for families threatened by immigration enforcement. The District has protocols for responding to immigration personnel requests for information about students, families, and staff.

LA Unified policies reaffirmed in November 2024 outline the following:

The District stands in unity with all of the students, families, and staff in our school communities and embraces Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion throughout the District.
The District will do everything in its power to protect and defend students, families, and staff, and will defend all students’ right to a public education.
Every District site will be a place of support and resources for all students and families, regardless of immigration status and any other protected groups in alignment with the District’s Nondiscrimination Policy.
