HBCSD honored with statewide e-bike award
Hermosa Beach City School District has been awarded the California School Boards Association (CSBA) Golden Bell Award for its innovative “Be Safe, Be SMART” E-Bike Safety Campaign. The award recognizes the District’s partnership with Hermosa Beach Police Department and E-Bike Sense. “Through hands-on safety courses led by E-Bike Sense, students learn helmet laws, traffic rules, and responsible riding practices. Upon successful completion, riders receive a numbered registration sticker permitting them to park their e-bikes or e-scooters on campus,” according to the District’s press release. The campaign reported a significant drop in e-bike accidents among HBCSD students with only one incident reported during the 2024-25 school year.
