During his tenure, he dedicated himself to bringing an innovative “doing-more-with-less” approach to solving some of the City’s largest economic problems.

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.

Austin Beutner Update to the School Community As Prepared for Delivery – March 8, 2021
1 AUSTIN BEUTNER UPDATE TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY AS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY – MARCH 8, 2021 Good morning. I’m Austin Beutner, Superintendent of Los Angeles Unified. Today I’ll share an update on our continuing efforts to provide a safety net to the communities we serve, take you through the latest information on plans to reopen schools in April and share details on the Path to Recovery in schools. Since school campuses closed in March of last year, Los Angeles Unified has led the nation in providing a safety net to the communities we serve. We have delivered more than 111 million meals along with 24 million items of much-needed supplies including masks and hand sanitizer, baby diapers and wipes, clothing and shoes, toys and sports equipment, books and materials, and computers and internet access for almost half a million students. We’ve also provided more than 500,000 free COVID tests to students, staff and their families at neighborhood schools. This week Intuit contributed another $25,000 – in addition to their previous donation of $100,000. In addition, they’ll be providing pro bono assistance to Los Angeles Unified as part of our efforts to address the digital divide and make sure all students continue to have the computer and internet access they need to stay connected with their school community. Anthem Blue Cross and Cedars-Sinai are helping with our vaccination program for school staff, and Hollywood Park helped facilitate donations of lunches for our team who are working at the SoFi Stadium vaccination center. If your family is quarantined at home due to the virus or experiencing food or housing insecurity, please reach out to your neighborhood school.
