Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

Each LAUSD community school implements common roles, processes, and structures codified in the collective bargaining agreement. The report states: "These common positions—codified and outlined in the CBA between the district and the union—include the community school coordinator (CSC) and the community representative (community rep)." The CSC builds community partnerships, family engagement, and leads the assets and needs assessment (ANA), a comprehensive stakeholder-data process revisited annually; community reps support day-to-day implementation and home–school relationship building. Schools also use phased benchmarks (short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes) as a roadmap for transformation, and inclusive school-based decision-making bodies composed of community members, staff, families, and students.
