FEEDBACK OF PROPOSALS

Superintendent's Review Panel Comments

  • The Superintendent’s Review Panel is comprised of representatives from LA Unified School District, Associated Administrators of Los Angeles, and United Teachers Los Angeles.

    The responsibility of the Superintendent’s Review Panel is to review both the PSC 3.0 and Watch School plans and provide feedback to the Superintendent.  They conducted an independent, written review for all plans, and then convened as a group to reach a consensus decision.   During their discussions, they were able to incorporate feedback from other reviewer panels for PSC in order to provide clear, comprehensive feedback to the Superintendent to assist in his decision-making.

    Please note that the Superintendent’s Review Panel is the ONLY review group that evaluated the Watch School plans.
