Five days after the
Los Angeles Unified School District announced it was shutting down all campuses for limited in-person instruction, two children’s advocacy groups have asked the state’s highest court to require the system to partially reopen to serve its youngest students and those with special learning needs, according to court documents filed Friday.
In a petition filed with the California Supreme Court, the Alliance for Children’s Rights and the Learning Rights Law Center allege that L.A. Unified violated a state law that requires education agencies to offer in-person instruction “to the greatest extent possible.”
LAUSD had offered limited in-person tutoring and assessment for students with disabilities, reaching less than 1% of 465,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. And then on Monday Supt. Austin Beutner announced a hard shutdown of all campuses amid the unprecedented spike in cases.
Morning Brief: LAUSD Sued

Good morning, L.A.
My colleague Kyle Stokes reports that Beutner’s announcement came just three months after a small number of high-risk students – including those with special education needs, English learners, foster youth and homeless children – were welcomed back into the classroom. Calling the current status of the pandemic “dangerous,” Beutner added that the district “will not reopen schools [for any students] until it’s safe and appropriate to do so.
The groups represented in the lawsuit, the Alliance for Children’s Rights and the Learning Rights Law Center, claim that Beutner is in no position to make that decision. Alex Romain, a partner at the firm Milbank LLP, which is handling the case, said that public health officials have deemed it acceptable for those small groups to remain on campus.
