02/27/2012 01:28:57 PM PST   ::  A public forum will be held Thursday in North Hollywood on a proposed LAUSD policy that would cap homework assignments at 20 percent of a student's grade and set guidelines for how much time should be spent on outside assignments.

Parents are invited to weigh in on the proposal on Thursday March 1 from 6-7 p.m. at Walter Reed Middle School, 4525 Irvine Ave.

Los Angeles Unified officials said they are trying to schedule additional forums before the policy is considered by the school board, probably in April.* The district came under fire last year when officials implemented a policy limiting homework to 10 percent of a student's grade without first seeking comments from parents.

Plans call for the policy to take effect in the fall.

 

*Previous LAUSD communications said that this would be the second of only two public forae.
