A message from Superintendent Alberto Carvalho

 

Dear Los Angeles Unified Families,

 

I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2023-2024 school year. The beginning of the year holds a tremendous amount of possibility – it’s a time of year when students can chart a new path, learn a new skill or hobby, find the subjects and activities that ignite their imagination or embark on a journey to find their voice and place to change the world. Welcome to a year that could change everything for your student!

 

I am proud to have recently completed my first full year as Superintendent of Los Angeles Unified. In a short period, we accomplished tremendous things together. We stabilized enrollment, increased attendance, decreased chronic absenteeism, launched new programs and initiatives, increased lost instruction time through tutoring and Acceleration Days, began reversing the tide of learning loss, secured the financial health of the District, and improved salary and work conditions for our dedicated workforce. Your partnership has been critical in this endeavor, and I am grateful to have incredible families to collaborate with across the District.

 

This school year will possess the same emphasis as the previous year: we remain committed and focused on our students and will dedicate our efforts to further implementing the 2022-26 Strategic Plan. As part of this work, we will strive for deliberate and strategic academic acceleration to ensure each student reaches their full potential. I am committed to each student realizing their full capacity for greatness and chasing their dreams with absolute fervor.

 

The Parent/Student Handbook outlines the policies and procedures that guide student life across Los Angeles Unified as well as the resources available to you and your students. We have dedicated ourselves to providing offerings that will benefit every student, and we encourage you to thoroughly read through this document to identify the programs that will best support your student. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our families for your constant support of our students and schools. Your commitment and dedication are truly indispensable.

Sincerely, Alberto M. Carvalho Superintendent of Schools
