Late additions to the Los Angeles Unified School District budget protect jobs and benefits and add arts instruction. Police funding stays about the same.
The Los Angeles Unified School District on Tuesday unanimously approved an $18.4-billion spending plan for the next school year, a smaller budget than the previous year, but one that maintains large reserves, preserves essential programs and avoids layoffs. The new budget is about $600 million less than last year's approved $19-billion spending plan. For parents and workers, the big picture is that school services and staffing for next year will look a lot like last year.
And state funding for out-of-school learning has led to a huge bump in field trips. But in the main, the district's priorities and spending are more of the same: There is continued strong support for the Black Student Achievement Plan and for schools that are struggling the most academically and that have the students with the highest needs. Advocates for both these efforts would have liked even more resources for these programs — and told the school board as much in public testimony.
