As of today, March 4, LAUSD is offering in person services for students with (dis)abilities! LA County kids are legally entitled to and authorized by LACDPH to receive in person services. Call your school for details, or call the LAUSD special education hotline! 213.241.6701

SB 237 clearly places literacy for all students as a top priority of a more equitable education system. Join me in taking action to support a universal screening for risk of dyslexia!

What @nickmelvoin said! Why aren’t more leaders in LAUSD fighting for our most vulnerable learners???
Nearly a year into this, parents—and kids—deserve more than political theater. They deserve to know that every public official is working hard to support them and prioritizing a safe return to campus for families who need that option, starting with our highest need students.

Loads of kids on campus today at Kester Ave. elementary doing a shoot for Apple TV. So it’s unsafe to have kids w/ disabilities on @LASchools campuses for vital services & education, but it’s safe to have them working there? @lapublichealth #openschools

Rivera says LAUSD should have done more for her son. Others feel the same. Their complaints reached the U.S. DOE's Office for Civil Rights, which opened investigations to uncover whether the district failed to serve disabled students during the pandemic.

We can go to the mall and do our holiday shopping, but special needs kids can’t access crucial services? Time for LAUSD to comply with IDEA. #spedup

Fewer LAUSD students are proficient in basic literacy skills this year, @AlisonLASchools reported. Kids with disabilities dropped from 23% to 10% proficient. LAUSD could be teaching these kids on campus under @lapublichealth rules but has chosen not to. @CAGovernor @TonyThurmond

Roughly 20% of #sped parents in Speak Up's survey said their kids received little to no communication from teachers. Almost 70% said they didn't receive services in a suitable format. Kids need live online teaching & services. #AskParents @AustinLASchools
