LA School Board Moms Push for Paid Parental Leave

 How can schools better support working parents on their staff? The Los Angeles Unified School District board just passed a resolution to offer paid parental leave and other family-focused benefits, led by three board members who are mothers themselves. Since many employees aren’t eligible for state leave, the district plans to fill that gap with supports like reproductive healthcare access, lactation spaces, and help with enrolling their children in LAUSD schools.
