To the editor: Congratulations to the Los Angeles Unified Faculty District for its positive factors (“LAUSD check scores hit a brand new excessive, erasing pandemic lows with a second yr of robust positive factors,” July 22). But it is very important acknowledge that the one-time federal cash was spent on costly labor-intensive packages (tutoring, summer time college, lessons throughout winter and spring break, intervention academics and studying coaches) to deal with the harms of the COVID-19 pandemic. Supt. Alberto Carvalho, per the article, insists that “the system in place ought to proceed to construct on the educational positive factors.” However with the cash all spent, how can it? Extra readability from the LAUSD on that time could be appreciated.
