The Department cunently has 36 formal agreements with LAUSD through Joint Use Agreements (JUA) and License Agreements. An additional 199 school or park sites have a shared use relationship through a permit or an informal reciprocal agreement. Use fees have historically not been collected from or paid to LAUSD under these arrangements_ However, recent discussions with LAUSD have indicated that this may change in the future, as LA USD is considering a policy change that would impose use fees on the Department for use of non­ JUA related school sites. , Besides LAUSD schools, the Depmtment also has working relationships with private schools and independent · chmter schools not under LAUSD.

DESCRIPTORS *Academic Aspiration; College Bound Students; College Entrance Examinations; Course Selection (Students); *Educational Experience; *High School Graduates; High Schools; Questionnaires; *Student Attitudes; Student Employment; Student Surveys; Tables (Data); *Urban Education IDENTIFIERS *Los Angeles Unified School District CA ABSTRACT This report provides information on the educational experiences and plans of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) (California) 1997 graduates. Seniors from regular, continuation, and opportunity high schools and schools of choice and for handicapped students were surveyed. In October 1996, there were 27,387 seniors in the LAUSD schools. Of these, 15,496 completed questionnaires for the survey. Approximately half of these students held part-time jobs while in high school. A large percentage took general academics (48%) and college preparatory courses (48%), and only 4% took vocational courses. Over 16% of these seniors had taken English-as-a-Second-Language courses. As of one month before graduation, 51% of the seniors had taken the Scholastic Assessment Tests and 20% had taken the ACT Assessment. About 36% of the seniors planned to attend 4-year colleges and 25% planned to attend 2- year colleges. Seniors noted their teachers and the quality of education as the best features of their schools, and they rated all areas of their instruction as close to "above average." While they considered their schools' reputations, spirit, and instructional programs as "average," they rated the condition of their school buildings and classrooms as slightly "below average." Appendixes contain tables of study data and the student survey.

  • School Associated Violent Deaths
    The National School Safety Center's Report on School Associated Violent Deaths Internet: www.schoolsafety.us E-mail: [email protected] In-House Report of the National School Safety Center 141 Duesenberg Drive, Suite 11 • Westlake Village, CA 91362 • Ph: 805/373-9977 • Fax: 805/373-9277 Dr. Ronald D. Stephens, Executive Director DEFINITION: A school-associated violent death is any homicide, suicide, or weapons-related violent death in the United States in which the fatal injury occurred: 1) on the property of a functioning public, private or parochial elementary or secondary school, Kindergarten through grade 12, (including alternative schools); 2) on the way to or from regular sessions at such a school; 3) while person was attending or was on the way to or from an official school-sponsored event; 4) as an obvious direct result of school incident/s, function/s or activities, whether on or off school bus/vehicle or school property. * Note: Not a scientific survey. Since information is taken from newspaper clipping services, it is possible that not all such clippings have reached the NSSC. SCOPE: Newspaper accounts, on which NSSC bases this report, frequently do not list names and ages of those who are charged with the deaths of others. Such omissions were in some cases because the person charged was a minor. In some instances, persons were killed in drive-by shootings, gang encounters or during melees in which the killer was not identified, and the killers were either never apprehended or were caught days or months after the crime was first reported.
