Los Angeles schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said this week that he is moving to create a unique study plan and progress report for every student and also to bring in "late buses" so children can stay after school for tutoring and get a ride directly to their homes — efforts to improve learning and make up ground lost during the pandemic.
The proposed Individual Acceleration Plans would affect all students in the nation's second-largest school district and provide parents with a clear explanation of how their children are doing in school.
"This is a document which will live on the website that can be printed — easy to understand, written at a fifth-grade reading level — that parents will look at, students will see," Carvalho said. "And they will be able to determine at this point in time where they are academically, in reading and mathematics, whatever it is."
