Dear LAUSD Community,
We are proud to present the 2025 Multilingual Multicultural Master Plan for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). This comprehensive plan reflects our unwavering commitment to building transformative relationships with our students and families. It represents our dedication to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and culturally and linguistically responsive educational environment for every learner.
At the heart of this plan is a deep respect for the individual identities of our students and an affirmation of the intersectionality that shapes their lived experiences. The 2025 Multilingual Multicultural Master Plan centers student voice and identity as we work collectively to build a stronger, more just educational system.
LAUSD serves a richly diverse student population representing a vibrant tapestry of languages, cultures, and multigenerational perspectives. Our Master Plan outlines a systems-wide approach grounded in six key commitments:
• Commitment 1: Honoring the Whole Child
• Commitment 2: Bringing an Asset-Based Lens
• Commitment 3: Celebrating Multilingualism and Multiculturalism
• Commitment 4: Ensuring High-Quality Instruction for All
• Commitment 5: Partnering with Families and Communities
• Commitment 6: Providing Integrated Systems and Supports
We are proud of the progress we’ve made—and even more committed to continuous growth. Because we are LAUSD, we go beyond expectations. This Master Plan is the result of a powerful collaboration among educators, administrators, families, and community partners who share our vision of equity and excellence in education.
Together, as a united community representing all voices and affinity groups, we can tackle the challenges ahead and celebrate the successes to come. We invite you to join us in this vital work as we create a learning environment where every student can thrive.
Sincerely,
Lydia Acosta Stephens
Executive Director,
Multilingual Multicultural Education Department (MMED)
