The following provide’s updated information on the implementation: That the Governing Board of the Los Angeles Unified School District stands in solidarity with all local agencies working to eliminate and address the CSEC crisis that exists in Los Angeles County (resolve); The primary charge of the CSEC taskforce was to build a strong collaborative relationship with critical stakeholders as the District developed and implemented its CSEC plan (Attachment A). As part of these efforts, the District’s CSEC taskforce now has established on-going meetings that take place two to three times per year with critical stakeholders. That the Los Angeles Unified School District will infuse CSEC awareness prevention and intervention into all applicable District units, policies and trainings, such as the biannual mandatory child abuse trainings, and incorporate the District’s CSEC response and intervention plan into the Los Angeles County CSEC Plan by the 2016-17 school year (resolve); The updated Child Abuse and Awareness Policy, BUL-1347-3, Section III D 4, published on August 19, 2016, now includes commercial sexual exploitation as a type of child abuse and the Board Resolution as a resource material.

Additionally, Bulletin 1132.3, Complying with the California Comprehensive Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Education Act was revised to reflect the updated California Education Code which requires that comprehensive sexual education addresses commercial sex trafficking (per AB-329 of 2015 and SB-1165 of 2014). The Los Angeles School Police Department officers continuously participate in a variety of Training Courses related to Sex Trafficking throughout the year, as deployment needs allow.

The Student Health and Human Services has developed a multidisciplinary cadre of consultants that are providing CSEC 101 Awareness trainings to all secondary school sites throughout the District by 2020.

The SHHS multidisciplinary cadre of consultants are available for consultation and professional development at schools within the local district and assigned work site(s). Additionally, schools are provided with resources to incorporate CSEC awareness campaigns during the school year. That the Superintendent will develop and implement a CSEC awareness and prevention model for every secondary school in the District by the 2019-2020 school year. A pilot that targets the most impacted schools will begin in the 2016-17 school year, no later than the 2017-18 school year and be expanded every year thereafter. This program will include, but is not limited to: 1) comprehensive sexual health curriculum in a health course; 2) training for all school staff; 3) a reference guide for school site use, and 4) a reporting strategy for quarterly updates to the Board and public (resolve); The Division of Instruction (DOI) Health Education Programs (HEP) has notified all health teachers of the Education Code requirement that they include CSEC education in their instruction. Additionally, Bulletin 1132.3, Complying with the California Comprehensive Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Education Act (SB 71 of 2003), was updated to reflect the new language of the California Healthy Youth Act (CHYA) (AB 329 of 2015), Sexual Abuse and Sex Trafficking Prevention Education (SB 1165 of 2014) and Human Trafficking Prevention Education and Training Act (AB1227 of 2017).
