It reesent7s,�,an `nportan°`f tool for our work together and was developed with the assistance of staff athe Cit"f Swth Gate and Consultant Cecilia Sandoval. In the first year of implementation, the Coalition will fseus on the priorities of school safety, student performance and pare involvement in addition to the ongoing development of the Coalition itself. An implementation mewQrk will help the Coalition Members monitor progress in implementing the maW_ptrategi6-a_ it h5%. adopted to favorably impact education in our communities. Background_ e The South�asf--Cities oftps Angeles County have about 62,000 students in LAUSD schools. This r entsabout 100;&0 the total LAUSD student population. Approximately 22,000 of these students are from South Gate where only 42% graduate from high school having fulfilled the - r6gvirements `$Ttly 11 % of South Gate high school graduates attend college. These alarmindlap tics and7the fact that local officials and community residents were not informed nor involveNn decision -making about leadership, instruction or safety of local LAUSD schools moved local leers to action. In 2006, the Southeast Schools Coalition was formed as a Joint Powers Authority to ensure that Southeast students and adults get the education they deserve and the benefits that come along with quality educational opportunities. The Mayors and Council Members of six Member Cities agreed that local elected officials should be responsible and accountable for the quality of education in their communities and that, as representatives and residents of their communities, they have firsthand knowledge of the issues students face and the needs of local schools. The Schools Coalition is a new approach to obtaining more authority over the quality and availability of education which is vital to the economic health and development of these communities.
