Chatsworth : High School Moves to Join LEARN
In its first public step toward joining the Los Angeles Unified School District’s reform movement, Chatsworth High School will hold a community meeting Thursday night to discuss the LEARN program.
Active at nearly 200 LAUSD campuses, the 4-year-old reform program allows teachers, parents and principals greater autonomy to make budgetary and policy decisions in return for increased student performance.
At Thursday’s meeting, Assistant Supt. Judy Burton, the district official in charge of Los Angeles Educational Alliance for Restructuring Now (LEARN), will present information about the program and take questions from parents and community members. At the end of the 90-minute meeting, a vote will be taken among parents on whether to become a LEARN campus.
Before submitting an application for the program, four additional votes must be taken among administrators, faculty, staff and students before the March 15 deadline. Those votes will be taken within the next 10 days, Ramirez said.
The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday in Chatsworth High’s library at 10027 Lurline Ave., Chatsworth. For more information, call (818) 341-6211.
