In early 2024, Superintendent Gulbrandsen, along with LOUSD administrators, completed the Community Schools Grant Application. LOUSD was one of the districts awarded the grant and funds were distributed in the summer of 2024.
At the end of October, the Community Schools Grant Director was hired. The district has now opened two Social Worker positions, which will be hired under the grant.
