A Message from Superintendent Burmeister

The 2025–26 school year is in full swing, and our district is experiencing strong momentum across our campuses and programs. As I continue my first year as Superintendent of the Las Lomitas Elementary School District, I am fully invested in the work ahead and deeply inspired by the dedication of our staff, the partnership of our families, and the joy our students bring to learning each day.

This year, we are making meaningful progress on several key districtwide priorities. Our Balanced Budget Initiative continues to drive responsible financial stewardship. Our Design Teams—focused on literacy, math pathways, the La Entrada bell schedule, wellness and SEL, MTSS, and more—are designing innovative, student-centered solutions to strengthen our system and expand opportunity. And in January 2026, we will launch our new Strategic Planning Process, which will help shape the district’s direction for the years ahead. At the center of all this work is what makes LLESD exceptional: engaging learning experiences where all students thrive.

I communicate regularly with our community through a monthly Superintendent’s Newsletter, and I invite you to explore the editions linked below to stay connected to our progress, celebrations, and upcoming initiatives.

Math Pathways Update and Town Hall Resources

On January 29 and 30, 2026, Superintendent Burmeister hosted Math Town Halls designed to provide the LLESD community with updates on the Math Pathways Design Teams' work and solicit input and feedback from families. The slide deck from the event is hyperlinked below, as is the video recording from the virtual webinar. Feel free to access these resources for more information.

Families are invited to provide feedback, input, and questions to math@llesd.org.

Strategic Shifts

Strategic Shifts are short, one-page explorations of ideas—not decisions—shared as part of LLESD’s ongoing efforts to thoughtfully innovate and evolve. Grounded in a human-centered design lens, these one-pagers are intended to spark thinking and invite feedback as we consider ways to strengthen engaging learning, improve student success, increase efficiency, realize responsible cost savings, and surface creative solutions in service of our students and community.

Each Strategic Shift focuses on possibility rather than prescription. Some ideas may gain traction, others may evolve, and some may not move forward—and that’s okay. This space is designed to encourage curiosity, transparency, and shared learning. We invite staff, families, students, and community members to review these ideas, consider their implications, and share feedback as we collectively explore what’s worth nurturing for the future of LLESD.
