AFT Resolution

RENEW SUPPORT FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION CENTERS

WHEREAS, the Los Angeles Unified School District is threatening to consolidate (or close) several early childhood centers (Children's Centers) in a cost-cutting move; and

WHEREAS, other school districts around the state and nation often emulate the actions of the LAUSD; and

WHEREAS, the states usually reimburse school districts for most of any budget shortfalls created by the operation of early childhood education centers; and

WHEREAS, the savings from the potential LAUSD consolidations are estimated to be only $1.5 million or less:

 

RESOLVED, that the AFT take the necessary measures to prevent these closures both in LAUSD and any other school district in the nation that seeks to close an early childhood education center as a way to save money.

Please note that a newer resolution, or portion of a resolution, may have superseded an earlier resolution on the same subject. As a result, with the exception of resolutions adopted at our most recent AFT convention, resolutions do not necessarily reflect current AFT policies.
