LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT TRANSLATIONS UNIT English/Spanish of LAUSD Terminology Second Edition Los Angeles Unified School District Translations Unit English/Spanish GLOSSARY of LAUSD Terminology Second Edition 2003 Los Angeles Unified School District Translations Unit 333 S. Beaudry Ave. 22nd Floor Los Angeles, CA 90017 Copyright © 2003 by LAUSD Translations Unit Second Edition Published in 2003 Designed by David Escobar & Javier Evangelista All rights reserved. No part of this glossary may be reproduced or retransmitted in any form or by any means, be it electronic, mechanical, photographing, recording, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the LAUSD Translations Unit. - ii - PREFACE The English/Spanish Glossary of LAUSD Terminology was developed by the Translations Unit as a tool for translating and interpreting the most commonly used words and phrases in District documents, as well as in Board meetings, IEP meetings, expulsion hearings, and a variety of other meetings that involve District officials and the community. It has proven to be of great value in our predominantly Spanish-speaking communities, not only for professional translators and interpreters, but also for anyone interpreting for parents where District terminology is used. The second edition has been updated and revised to reflect the latest changes within the schools and administrative offices of the District. A ruled section has been added to the bottom of each page for personal notes. It is important to point out that this resource uniquely reflects the terminology used in the Los Angeles Unified School District and that it may not always apply to other school districts. Due to the richness of the Spanish language, the English/Spanish Glossary of LAUSD Terminology, in some instances, provides its users with several options for translating one specific English term. All options are accepted as correct and may be used according to the context. The Translations Unit acknowledges that there may be acceptable alternatives that are not included in the Glossary. In addition, some terms will have, in one or more of their translation options, the abbreviation (Mex.). These translations may be more common to Spanish speakers from Mexico than from other Spanish- speaking regions. These translations may be used when deemed appropriate by the user. The English/Spanish Glossary of LAUSD Terminology also contains two other useful sections. The Common Phrases section contains phrases or statements that have been observed repeatedly in the translation of documents or have been used during interpretation meetings over the years. This section could be of assistance to many, including non-Spanish-speaking school personnel. The Acronyms section lists, in alphabetical order, the most common acronyms and abbreviations used in District ‘lingo’, all of which are included in the Glossary section. This Glossary may also be viewed online at www.translationsunit.com. Kleber Palma Director of Translations - iii - ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Translations Unit takes pride in the creation of this Glossary and its use throughout the District. Recognition is given to our team of Senior Spanish Translator/Interpreters, who spent countless hours revising the second edition of the Glossary to make it clear, concise, and current. Recognition is also given to all Spanish Translator/Interpreters and IEP Translators who contribute with their consultation and research efforts in order to obtain the true meaning and translation of English terms and phrases they encounter on a daily basis. - iv - Table of Contents Abbreviations vi English/Spanish Glossary 1 Common Phrases 97 Acronyms 101 - v - Abbreviations / Abreviaciones [Adm.] .
