04/15/2011 - The Los Angeles Unified School District announced Friday that it will offer limited summer classes and support services, including reduced online courses and community food programs, because of its budget crisis.
Starting July 6, summer school will be offered at select high schools for 11th-graders who received a grade of D or F, and 10th-graders who received an F in classes required for graduation. Students in 12th grade who do not graduate will be referred to adult school.
According to the district, there will be no credit-recovery classes offered to ninth-graders. Students who need to make up classes must register with their school counselors.
High school online classes, limited to credit recovery, will be available through the Los Angeles Virtual Academy at the City of Angels school program. A list of summer school/credit recovery sites is available on the LAUSD's Beyond the Bell Branch website, http://btb.lausd.net.
Summer enrichment programs will be offered at more than 150 elementary and middle schools, according to the district. The programs, funded under the state's After School Education and Safety Program, will offer activities Monday through Friday beginning July 6. Program specifics are available at the Beyond the Bell Branch website.
The LAUSD's Summer Food Service Program will operate at select schools and serve children and teens up to age 18.
Extended School Year programs for children in pre-K through 12th grade will be offered for eligible special education students, according to the district.
The four-week program will be held at select schools from July 6 through Aug. 2. A complete listing of participating schools will be available at http://btb.lausd.net.

April 15, 2011 | 5:20 pm - Los Angeles school officials announced Friday that they will cancel the majority of their summer school offerings for the third year in a row because of budget shortfalls.
The Los Angeles Unified School District, which is facing a nearly $400-million deficit this year, already issued preliminary layoff notices to more than 7,000 staffers earlier this spring.
Classes will still be offered starting July 6 at some high schools for some current sophomores, juniors and seniors who are either failing or need to go to adult school. Some online classes will also be available, as will meal programs at some campuses.
