Communications

The Communications team, part of the Superintendent’s Office, helps keep families and the community informed and connected to our schools.

We share important updates, highlight student and staff successes, manage the district website and social media, review flyer requests, and support photos, videos, and community partnerships. Our goal is to make sure information is clear, timely, and easy to understand for everyone.

During emergencies, the Communications team helps share accurate information with families and the community in coordination with district leadership and emergency officials.

Supt. Listening Tour

In 2022, during his first 100 days with the district, Dr. Ryan Lewis launched a Listening Tour to connect with students, staff, families, and community members. This effort was grounded in the belief that stronger decisions are made when we actively listen to and learn from our community.

Through a series of conversations, meetings, and school visits, participants were invited to share ideas, experiences, and priorities for the future of LEUSD. The feedback gathered during this time helped shape the District’s direction and ongoing work.

Listening Tour Report

This report highlights the key themes, observations, and insights gathered throughout the Listening Tour. It reflects the voices of our community and continues to inform the District’s commitment to improving outcomes and strengthening our schools.
