Teachers, Parents and Advocates, These programs have helped OUR children. PSA Counselors walked with us during the strike, it's our turn to support them because OUR children need them. If we let Beutner terminate these programs he's going to keep destroying LAUSD little by little. PLEASE Email the Board! 👇👇🏼👇🏾👇🏿👇👇🏼👇🏾👇🏿 URGENT Please share Beutner is planning to terminate the HOMELESS UNIT and to remove Homeless, Foster youth, Camp returnee and Group Home Scholars counselors. We ask teachers, parents and community advocates to complain to the board on Tuesday and to email or call your board member.


These high risk populations can't be properly serviced without PSA counselors: Homeless Program Foster Youth program Camp Returnee Program Group Home Scholars Program Instead of funding consultants LAUSD must keep the support service staff who have made a positive impact in the lives of these minorities.

LAUSD promised extra counselors that are supposed to be hired after our historic strike. We need the PSA counselors who provide support to these students! We will fight for our students! Help Us!
