Letter In Support of the Foster Youth portion of LAUSD’s LCAP

Foster youth are identified as a distinct at-risk subgroup California’s Local Control Funding Formula and Academic Performance Index because of the unique educational challenges they face and their heartbreakingly poor educational outcomes, outcomes significantly worse than even other at-risk subgroups. By including academic outcomes specific to foster youth, goals specific to foster youth, and actions, services, and expenditures specific to foster youth, the District has laid important groundwork to develop system-wide, institutional support for our most vulnerable students.
