LAUSD is committed to engaging parents in their child’s education. Over 30 years of research confirms the important role of parent involvement in student achievement. Parents are their child’s first and life-long teachers and can influence their child’s education outcomes in powerful and long-lasting ways. The core belief that parents are our partners is the foundation for the District’s overarching policy on parent engagement and is reinforced through its Title I Parent Involvement Policy and school-level parent involvement policies.

Please join us for our upcoming monthly meetings throughout the 2024-2025 school year for the following important groups:

Local School Leadership Council (LSLC)

The Local School Leadership Council (LSLC) is a shared decision-making body, composed of elected parents, community members, school personnel, and students.  The LSLC works cooperatively to make decisions in these areas of the school program:

1. School calendar
2. Professional development schedule
3. Budget for instructional materials
4. Student discipline guidelines
5. Guidance for school equipment rentals such as copy machines

LSLC will meet about once a month on Tuesday afternoons on the VAAS campus.  If you are interested in serving on this important committee, please contact Principal Kelly Hanock at [email protected].
