Background

Strategic Enrollment Pupil Services and Attendance (PSA) Counselors assist with a strategic initiative to help families navigate enrollment in LAUSD. Working with Pupil Services and School Design Options administrators, Strategic Enrollment PSA Counselors ensure that students and families are able to access enrollment, overcome barriers to enrollment, and apply for specialized programs that may be available throughout the District. These PSA Counselors collaborate with and support Student Health and Human Services, Unified Enrollment, Local Districts and Communities of Schools to analyze enrollment data, assist with recruitment and outreach, support and engage parents/caregivers and provide case management to families who experience enrollment challenges.

Purpose

Strategic Enrollment PSA Counselors serve the complementary purposes of both addressing the trend of declining enrollment in LAUSD and increasing equity and access to any educational pathway our District offers.
