L.A. Schools Make Great Strides in Health and Safety Compliance

June 1, 2010
For the first time since the Los Angeles school district began its Safe School Inspection Program, none of its schools have a “poor” rating on the program’s Health & Safety Compliance Scorecard.

For the first time since the Los Angeles school district began its Safe School Inspection Program, none of its schools have a "poor" rating on the program’s Health & Safety Compliance Scorecard.

In 2003, when the program was introduced, 272 of 798 campuses received a poor rating. In May 2010, no schools received a "poor."

"The safety of our students is our highest priority," says school superintendent Ramon C. Cortines.

A poor rating indicates that a school does not meet the minimum requirements in several health and safety categories.
