Message from Dr. V

With the school year winding down and our students and employees looking forward to a well deserved summer vacation, I wanted to express my deepest thanks to our wonderful employees who have given so much to our students everyday for the past school year.  You have provided our students needed stability and a first rate educational experience and have given our students every opportunity to be successful for another year.

I also wanted to discuss a new program that will be coming to schools in the coming weeks.  I am very proud to have sponsored the Healthy Students, Healthy Families, and Healthy Communities resolution which will provide our students, their families, and the surrounding communities with the excess food that was not eaten during the traditional school day.  Partnering with community groups, non-profits, and local food banks, this new initiative can provide hundreds of meals to our local communities everyday to help in this very difficult time.  I am honored to lead this initiative but I am also working with food services to more accurately plan for the appropriate amount of meals a school needs on any given day to reduce our costs in this very difficult budget environment.

I wish you all a very good summer filled with family and friends.  Thank you as well to our wonderful multi-track schools that will still be in session supporting our families and students for one last year until we are able to take every student in the LAUSD off of a multi-track calendar on to a traditional calendar.
