The Hesperia Unified Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for the 2021-2024 school years outlines key goals focused on providing high-quality instruction, ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment, and fostering strong parent and community partnerships. The plan addresses academic achievement through standards-based instruction, interventions, and support programs for high-needs students (English learners, foster youth, low-income students). It emphasizes creating a safe and positive school climate through various initiatives, including social-emotional learning programs, and addresses student engagement through attendance improvement strategies. The plan also highlights the importance of family and community involvement through parent training, communication, and resource provision. The LCAP details the allocation of LCFF funds to support these goals and includes an analysis of the 2020-2021 school year, addressing the challenges and successes of distance learning and in-person instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Williams Legislation Fact Sheet outlines the goals and principles of the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools (SBCSS) in implementing the Williams Legislation, which aims to ensure educational equity by providing all students with sufficient access to standards-aligned instructional materials, safe and clean school facilities, and qualified teachers.

This instructional design plan for Hesperia Unified School District (HUSD) aims to create a system that fosters 21st-century skills in students. The plan addresses the shortcomings of the previous system, which failed to adequately prepare students for future challenges. The new system emphasizes depth of knowledge (DOK), incorporating the Cognitive Rigor Matrix (CRM) to guide instruction and assessment. Key areas of focus include critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity (the "4Cs"). The plan outlines a site-based implementation plan with specific learning targets and success indicators for each of the 4Cs, along with a coaching model to support teachers in implementing the new instructional design. The goal is to improve student learning outcomes and prepare students for college and career readiness, moving beyond the limitations of previous assessment methods like the California Standards Test (CST).

The Hesperia Unified School District's Expanded Learning Opportunities Grant Plan outlines a strategy for providing supplemental instruction and support to students, particularly those needing academic, social-emotional, or other assistance. The plan details how ELO grant funds will be used to implement a learning recovery program for low-income students, English learners, foster youth, homeless students, students with disabilities, at-risk students, disengaged students, and those below grade level. Key initiatives include accelerating progress to close learning gaps through tutoring and learning supports; providing integrated student supports to address barriers to learning (social-emotional well-being, student engagement); strengthening community learning hubs; supporting credit-deficient students; and providing staff training on student wellness, engagement, and academic acceleration. The plan emphasizes collaboration with parents, teachers, and staff in its development and implementation, and outlines how these funds will be coordinated with other federal ESSER funds to maximize student support.
