  • Layoff Fight Gets Results More Than 250 RIF Notices Rescinded, and Most Remaining Positions at Risk Are Expected to Be Saved After the Start of the New School Year
    Award-Winning Newspaper of United Teachers Los Angeles • www.utla.net Volume XLIV, Number 10, July 17, 2015 Layoff fight gets results More than 250 RIF notices rescinded, and most remaining positions at risk are expected to be saved after the start of the new school year. The layoff fight heated up over the summer as parents, educators, and stu- dents massed at a series of LAUSD School Board meetings to urge Board members to rescind reduction-in-force notices and restore programs for the 2015-16 school year. Large groups packed the Board on June 9, testified at a June 16 public hearing, and were back on June 23. More than 250 layoff notices had been rescinded by the time the School Board ap- proved its 2015-16 budget on June 23, and it is expected that nearly all people on the 2014-15 RIF list will be rehired as a result of additional adult education funding and start-of-school-year vacancies. UTLA will keep organizing and building pressure to bring back all of our colleagues for the benefit of our students. The adult education program has the most positions still hanging in the balance: 241 educators, including 89 ESL instructors. In June UTLA and LAUSD sent a joint letter to state officials requesting additional adult education funding, citing the high level of need in Los Angeles as indicated by the 12,000-plus people on the wait list for ESL, career and technical education, and other classes. LAUSD is in line to receive additional money because of a change in state funding for adult education programs, and LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines has commit- ted publicly to using it to restore positions.

  • May 3, 2021 Superintendent Austin Beutner Los Angeles Unified
    Sent via Electronic Mail May 3, 2021 Superintendent Austin Beutner Los Angeles Unified School District 333 South Beaudry Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90017 [email protected] Dear LAUSD Superintendent Beutner, We write on behalf of LAUSD students from the Youth Liberty Squad and InnerCity Struggle. The Youth Liberty Squad (YLS) is a student-led youth group founded by the ACLU of Southern California. YLS works on a variety of social justice issues in Los Angeles and across California and is made up of high school students, the majority of whom attend LAUSD schools, including Manual Arts High School, Girls Academic Leadership Academy, Foshay Learning Center, Ramon C. Cortines, Fairfax High School, César Chávez Learning Academies, Bravo Medical Magnet, Venice High School, South Gate High School, and many others. InnerCity Struggle is a grassroots community-based organization with the mission to achieve social and economic justice for youth and families in the Eastside of LA. InnerCity Struggle’s student leaders attend LAUSD schools, including Garfield High School, Mendez High School, Wilson High School, Roosevelt High School, Lincoln High School, and Esteban Torres High School. As you know, this past year has been extremely hard for us and our peers. Beyond experiencing the same distance learning problems that all students have faced, we live in predominately Black and Brown communities that have been hit the hardest by the pandemic. We have had friends and family members lose their jobs, get sick, and even pass away. Despite these challenges, we remain hopeful that students, community leaders, and LAUSD leadership will be able to work together to develop a plan that will safely and effectively support all those who make up the LAUSD community—and specifically a plan that prioritizes equity and our communities that need the most help.
