Mr. Lansing moved that the report be adopted. Ms. Canter seconded the motion.

After discussion, and by general consent, the report was adopted 6 ayes. Mr. Tokofsky was absent.

Whereas, In February of 2002, the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles mandated that all Concept 6 schools be moved to a 180-day calendar because it provides more instructional days and thus represents the most optimal learning environment for students if adopted appropriately;

Whereas, Documentary evidence from local schools in District 1 indicates that in requiring all Concept 6 elementary schools to convert to a 180-day calendar for the 2003-04 school year the District did not thoroughly study and consider the operational and instructional implications of said conversion on each respective school;

Whereas, The District's prospective conversion of Concept 6 elementary schools in School Board District 1 to the 90/30 four-track 180 day schedule will have an array of unintended consequences vis à-vis these campuses' capacity to accommodate additional students; classroom assignment of credentialed teachers; the quality of instruction; the availability of classroom and bathroom space; parent coordination of family life; lunch time schedules and student retention;

Whereas, These unintended consequences will affect high poverty schools that are predominantly composed of students of color whose achievement is greatly compromised by the academic and social burden of year-round schedules; and

Whereas, These unintended consequences could potentially have an adverse effect upon the academic performance of students at these schools, and thus reverse the gradual performance gains that they have made under the Concept 6 calendar: now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Superintendent direct staff to do an exhaustive study of the potential impact of the adoption of the 90/30 calendar at District 1 schools, focusing on campus capacity, staffing, instruction, facilities, classroom availability, parent coordination; and be it

Resolved further, That the District suspend its planned July 1 conversion of District 1 elementary schools to the 90/30 calendar if the findings of this study reveal that the operational and instructional disparities that would result from the adoption of this calendar cannot be substantially rectified.

Whereas, The exigencies of the war have been the subject of intellectual debate in communities and classrooms throughout the world;

Whereas, Open and balanced debate about the implications of the war are consistent with the Los Angeles Unified School District's standards-based curriculum insofar as it provides a foundation for instruction on the ideals of democratic citizenship and freedom of speech;

Whereas, Teachers, aides and administrators should be allowed to express their views on the war freely within the context of a democratic society;

Whereas, The wearing of attire/apparel that espouses a position on the war exemplifies free expression, debate and political engagement and is protected under the Constitution;

Whereas, The Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles acknowledges the need for teachers and other District employees to dress in a manner that is respectful of the educational climate in our schools and to exhibit professional conduct when engaging students in discussion of complex global issues; and

Whereas, The District's policy prohibiting the wearing of pro or antiwar attire/apparel by school employees is an anti-democratic gesture in a war climate in which equal access to democratic freedoms should be cherished; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles support the right of free political expression of all its employees and students on the war and oppose the abridgement of civil liberties elaborated in the District's March 20th memorandum prohibiting the "Wearing of Anti-War or Pro War Attire or Apparel by Teachers, Aides and Administrators in the Classroom"; and be it

Mr. Lansing moved:

That the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles declares that having conducted extensive recruitment throughout the community, state, region, and nation, having offered employment to all fully credentialed candidates who applied and who have met District standards and qualifications in the designated subjects, and having implemented and operated alternative programs for teacher credentialing, there are insufficient fully-credentialed teachers to meet the staffing and instructional needs of the Los Angeles Unified School District, and it is necessary to employ teachers with emergency permits under provisions of Education Code 44300.

Resolved, That Board Rule 75 be established with the following language:

Board Member originated motions and resolutions may have more than one sponsor but are limited by the Open Meeting Laws to having less than a quorum discuss a motion or resolution by any means outside of a properly noticed meeting.
