T.Mrs. Boudreaux - School Safety Policy - Leaving Classrooms ADOPTED

Whereas, This school district is committed to local decision-making based on collaboration of all stakeholders, including students;

Whereas, Each school of this District must have a site-specific "Safe School Plan" which ensures the safety of its students and staff at all times;

Whereas, Secondary and adult school students and campuses necessitate differentiated age appropriate forms of supervision;

Whereas, We must maximize the instructional time and maintain continuity for all students while recognizing that students occasionally need to leave the direct supervision of their teachers in order to attend to personal needs or take care of office business; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Superintendent allow secondary and adult schools, through their local governance councils, in conjunction with their safe school committees, the opportunity to adhere to the present Board policy on students leaving classrooms, etc., or submit to their Cluster Administrator for approval, an alternative approach to ensure the safety of all students when not under the direct supervision of a teacher.

U.Ms. Korenstein - Purchase of Soccer Balls (Waiver of Board Rule 72) ADOPTED

Whereas, Recent media and government reports have brought to light the extensive use of child labor in the manufacture of soccer balls that are distributed worldwide, including the United States;

Whereas, Children as young as seven years old are reportedly sold into indentured bondage, deprived of a normal childhood and opportunities to attend school, subjected to severe physical distress working in sweatshop conditions and earn as little as 60 cents per day to stitch soccer balls;

Whereas, Soccer is the world's most popular sport and has increased in popularity in this country, becoming a basic activity in physical education classes and intramural sports;

Whereas, It is known there are countries illegally using child labor in the manufacture of a variety of products imported into this country; and

Whereas, District schools purchase a variety of imported products, including over 800 soccer balls per year; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the District only purchase products that have been certified as having been manufactured without the illegal use of child labor and by this action send a clear and convincing message that the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles abhors the use of illegal child labor and will not support those who perpetuate such a vile practice.
