Make LA the best place to LEARN
One of five LA2050 Goals
Our region offers opportunities for lifelong learning, allowing all residents to contribute their skills, talents, and abilities to society.
By 2050, all Los Angeles students will have access to early education programs, every high school student will graduate and be college and career ready, and all parents will be engaged and empowered to direct their children’s learning. LA will capitalize on its concentration of higher education facilities to foster new businesses, advance research, and spur innovation.
Establishing a legal right to a high quality public education
Creating a legal right to a high quality public education either by passing an LAUSD policy to establish a legal right to a high quality public education for the children of Los Angeles in 2021; or by establishing a constitutional right to a high quality public education for the children of California via a 2022 ballot initiative. An LA2050 grant would support legal drafting, public opinion testing, coalition building, and community organizing. Learn more
