SB 1133
$2,874,262.50!
Los Angeles High School has been OFFICIALLY identified as a SB1133 receiver school…finally. That means that the above sum gets even bigger ($1000 per student) over the next 6 years.
Additionally, we have been informed by Local District 3 that we will be able to all teachers who want to stay. That’s right, no one will be displaced who doesn’t want to! We can also fill key positions of teachers and counselors who are leaving this year so we don’t actually experience class size/counselor ratio increases! This is only because we organized and mobilized (100s of signatures!) to pressure the big District and the Local District with the help of the UTLA leadership.
We have three years to move toward significant class-size/counselor ratio reduction (25-1 and 300-1) so we don’t have to hire additional, as opposed to replacement/maintenance, teachers yet. We have time to develop a plan, both for how we are going to add teachers and counselors, equip facilities, and create meaningful professional development.
Well, we have time to develop a plan, IF we can pressure the district to guarantee that our School Site Council should control the SB1133 monies and use them according to a plan that our school community (not the district, not the local district, not the principal alone) develops.
This is our next area of pressure. The district held a meeting of chapter chairs and principals from SB1133 schools on Friday, May 11th. More information will be forthcoming! Keep an eye on the blog and attend UTLA chapter meetings Wednesdays in room 158.
