About Us
The Los Angeles Unified School District is a single district SELPA, charged with providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to eligible students with disabilities within its jurisdictional boundaries. The SELPA’s Local Plan must be revised when there has been a change in Federal or State law or a change in the SELPA’s organization. Otherwise, it must be revised on a 3-year cycle. The Board adopted the SELPA’s Local Plan on June 18, 2024, for school years 2024-2027.
The Community Advisory Committee (CAC) has advised the policy and administrative agency during the development of the Local Plan pursuant to California Education Code (EC) Section 56194. To ensure adequate and effective participation and communication pursuant to EC 56195.8, parent members of the CAC, or parents selected by the CAC, participated in the development and update of the Local Plan for special education.
A Local Plan Revision Advisory Committee was formed to review and give input to proposed changes in the SELPA Local Plan. A series of meetings were held and representatives on the Local Plan Revision Advisory Committee included parent representatives from the LAUSD CAC, members of the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles (AALA), and United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA), as well as staff from the Division of Special Education and SEIU Local 99.
