S.E.E.D. Committee

For the 2025-2026 school year, HBCSD will utilize the California School Dashboard for data reporting and will discontinue using the HBCSD E&I Dashboard.

The previous E&I Dashboard, covering the period from 2021 to 2025, can be viewed as follows: 2021-2022, 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025.

Hermosa Beach is committed to helping every student thrive by providing a learning environment that promotes inclusivity, celebrates diversity, and inspires all students to maximize their potential. This is a key goal of the district for the 2025-2026 school year and beyond.

 

The S.E.E.D. Committee reflects this mission, focusing on four core principles:

S – Strengthen → Building connections and supporting one another

E – Engage → Fostering active participation and collaboration

E – Empower → Giving voice, tools, and confidence to thrive

D – Develop → Cultivating growth, skills, and potential

Our goal is to help students think critically, listen openly, collaborate effectively, and be good global citizens. Hermosa Schools are working to ensure that policies, programming, and curriculum are updated to align with this mission by working to remove educational barriers for students who face challenges based on gender, identity, disability, language, race, ethnicity, economic status, family model, and more.

 

Upon the committee's recommendation, the Board of Education adopted the HBCSD E&I Action Plan on July 12, 2023. Click here to read the action plan.

 

The S.E.E.D. Committee is comprised of stakeholders, including students, alumni, parents, staff, the superintendent, and a Board member representative. They meet monthly to review progress and provide input and feedback.
