The Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Unified School District resolved their yearslong dispute by agreeing to a settlement on Dec. 11 over federal Title I funding.
As part of the settlement, LAUSD will grant the archdiocese several concessions, including:
- $3 million in additional services for Title I-eligible students
- The ability of the archdiocese to meet with LAUSD at least three times per year to ensure transparency and increased communication about how funding is calculated
- Allowing the archdiocese to pool its Title I resources across several schools, rather than individually
