A collaborative effort from the Building Healthy Communities - Boyle Heights that stemmed from the Health Happens in Schools committee. This group is focused on raising awareness of budget issues in education, focused around the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the need to request that these state dollars influence and support Low-Income Students, English Language Learners, and Foster Youth, as intended. In Los Angeles, students and parents are asking LAUSD to promote equity for schools on the east side and provide additional counselors, wellness centers, and mental health services at our schools paid for by LCFF doilars.
