The first day of school for LAUSD is less than a week away – the bell rings on August 14 – and Superintendent John Deasy has a few words for school principals and administrators.

Deasy will be meeting with them tomorrow at Washington Preparatory High School, to share his “expectations and priorities” for the 2012-13 school year.

Most school board members will also be in attending the address, though not all have confirmed.

Some issues Deasy’s expected to address:

-The role of out of teaching new Common Core standards
- Expanding school choice options for parents and students
- Improving administrator and teacher accountability
- Boosting high school graduation rates
