9. Reed vs. State of California 2009 – Filed by ACLU on behalf of students at three low- income schools against the state and the LA Unified school district, alleging that widespread seniority-based layoffs enacted during the budget crisis of 2008 – 2009 disproportionately affected low income and minority students, depriving them of equal access to a quality education. 2011 – the court issued a ruling in the case, protecting 45 low-income schools from budget-based layoffs, a direct challenge to the existing practice of basing teacher layoffs solely on seniority. That ruling was overturned on appeal and later remanded back to state court.

10. Reed Settlement Under the settlement, a host of new resources will be allocated to 37 affected schools. Each school will receive new mentor teachers, another administrator, additional counselors or social workers, additional assistant principals, support positions for special education students, support for special training at each of the schools, incentives for leadership stability, and more planning time for new teachers. Board will consider approving the settlement at their meeting on April 22, 2014. Afterwards, it will go to the State Superior Court for final approval.
