While also leaning on outside contracts, LAUSD reached less than 10% of students through its tutoring and small group instruction, according to numbers presented in March.
Some of the COVID-19 funds — $395 million with more expected next year — were in the form of Expanded Learning Opportunities grant funding. The district has spent 41% of that funding on recovery support.
Innovate Public Schools said it’s happy to see more money go toward tutoring but emphasized that there needs to be a clear plan as to how the district will use that money, saying the large carryover in money allocated for tutoring this year points to implementation issues. The organization is pushing for a clearer definition of tutoring and a data-driven approach.
For those like Jacobo Lopez, school support has helped immensely. Because her daughter’s elementary school is one of the more than 30 schools that’s partnered with Step Up Tutoring, she was able to access support in reading throughout the school year through its sessions — something her son was also able to take advantage of briefly when it first launched in spring 2021, before he moved on to middle school.
That’s something that was also echoed by Judith Larson and Aida Vega, who both shared their families’ experiences at a southeast L.A. event earlier in June advocating for more widespread tutoring across the district. Neither Larson nor Vega, whose children attend middle and high school respectively, were happy with the options present at their children’s Southeast L.A. schools.
Aside from its locally designed tutoring programs, LAUSD has also focused on action through Title I intervention programs as well as Primary Promise, which guides students who need extra support in literacy and math. The program has seen considerable progress among students this year but has lagged in staffing. As of March, 29% of literacy teacher positions remained vacant as well as 54% of math teacher positions.
