2025-06-26 Our Commitment to Safety

June 26, 2025

Dear PUSD Community,

Today, Pasadena Police Chief Gene Harris joined the Pasadena Unified School District Board meeting with a shared commitment to the safety and well-being of our entire Pasadena community.

As local and national events unfold, we stand together with the City to support all students, families, and employees who are part of our school district community.

Chief Harris and I are available to support families and community members as needed. For more details or to request participation in community meetings, please contact the Superintendent’s Office at 626.396.3619.

Our schools are places of learning, inclusion, and calm, and the Pasadena Police Department remains our partner in upholding these values with dignity and respect for all. We urge our school community to stay informed, remain peaceful, and support one another.

We also encourage our families and employees to visit the district’s dedicated webpage with helpful resources for those navigating immigration-related concerns: pusd.us/immigrationresources.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Blanco, Ed.D.
Superintendent
