| Message from Superintendent Deasy |

| Today the Los Angeles Unified School District sent an application accompanied by a letter to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan asking that the Department of Education consider the District’s application for $40 million in Race to the Top funds, despite the grant request not having received the support of United Teachers, Los Angeles. |

Although UTLA refused to be a partner in this critically important grant, I will advocate for it on behalf of the administrators, students, and faculty of this District. To that end, I have instructed staff to submit an application with all required signatures except that of the teachers' union.
I am seeking the support of the DOE to hire hundreds of faculty to support the absolute rights of all youth to a quality education. |

| The grant, which received unanimous support of the Board of Education, would better enable youth across the District to remain on |
