The LAUSD will extend the upcoming 2022-23 school year by a week, setting aside time in which schools can choose to offer extra help to students at the greatest academic risk following the pandemic.
The Los Angeles Unified School District will extend the upcoming 2022-23 school year by a week, setting aside time in which schools can choose to offer extra help to students at the greatest academic risk following the pandemic.
LAUSD administrators cannot mandate teachers to work more than the standard 180 days without renegotiating the district’s union contracts. So while the school year will extend into the third week of June instead of only the second week, the new plan also sets aside four Wednesdays throughout the school year that will be “optional” for teachers.
Teachers could choose to use those days to take a breather and catch up on grading or lesson planning — but district leaders are hoping they’ll choose to show up and offer “additional academic instruction and support” to vulnerable students. LAUSD board members voted Tuesday to approve spending an extra $122 million to pay staff for extra time on these so-called “acceleration days.
School calendar votes are rarely easy; with almost every feature of the instructional calendar is a point of potential conflict.
