The Wiseburn Education Foundation has released its 2025-26 Impact Report, capping a milestone year as the foundation celebrates 30 years of supporting Wiseburn students. Founded in 1996 by parents and community leaders, WEF raised $398,225 this year to benefit more than 5,000 students across the district's schools, from preschool through the high school academies. Highlights include 27 teacher innovation grants totaling more than $27,000, 475 new instruments and cases for the district's music program, and support for 50 middle school students who designed and built AI applications at a two-day hackathon with Da Vinci Schools.

During the July 16 Wiseburn USD school board meeting, the Board of Trustees adopted a new board policy and administrative regulation on student personal electronic devices, establishing that cell phones and similar devices may not be used during the school day — including instructional time, recess, lunch, passing periods, and assemblies — unless specifically authorized. Phone-free school days are linked to improved focus, stronger academic engagement, and better student mental health, and they encourage more face-to-face connection during recess and lunch. The policy includes exceptions for medical needs and other circumstances authorized by the principal or designee.

The Wiseburn USD Board of Trustees has adopted a new e-bike policy aimed at keeping student riders safe on their way to and from school. The policy permits Class 1 e-bikes (pedal-assist only, with motors that stop assisting at 20 mph) and Class 2 e-bikes (throttle-assisted, also capped at 20 mph), while prohibiting Class 3 e-bikes, which can reach 28 mph and are restricted under California law to riders 16 and older. To help ensure every rider is prepared, students with e-bikes will complete a safety training course, register their bikes with the district, and display a district decal. These requirements will be included in registration packets going home in August.

Beginning in the 2026–2027 school year, Wiseburn Unified School District will begin a phased transition to Standards-Based Grading, a more learner-centered approach designed to provide clearer feedback on student progress, growth, and grade-level proficiency.
