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.

    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.
