LAUSD Public School Choice Resolution

Hundreds of parents, students, teachers, and community leaders filled the Board Room at the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) headquarters on August 25, 2009, to support a new resolution – “Public School Choice: A New Way at LAUSD” – that invites qualified operators to run up to fifty of the district’s newly-built schools, and its more than two hundred low-performing schools. The motion, which passed with overwhelming support, will create a process for ensuring strong instructional programs at each of the newly-constructed campuses, and produce transformational plans for the lowest-performing schools.

Vocation education bill is step back for academics

IN 1968 more than 20,000 high school students marched out of Los Angeles Unified School District eastside campuses and staged sit-ins to protest policies that steered the brightest students to trade classes rather than higher education.
 
Despite the effort, a policy requiring college preparatory coursework would not be adopted until 2005, under the guidance of then-School Board President Jose Huizar.
 
Now California legislators would turn back the clock on the academic gains of the past 40 years if Senate Bill 381 is passed in the Assembly. The bill - co-authored by Sen. Rod Wright (D-Los Angeles) and Sen. Mark Wyland (R-Carlsbad) - would prohibit school districts from implementing graduation requirements composed of college preparatory courses that help students meet admissions requirements for the University of California and California State University systems unless the districts also adopt alternative coursework toward entry-level employment skills in business or industry.
