The Latino Student Achievement initiative was created to inspire excellence and accelerate academic achievement among Latino students and their families through institutionalizing systemic change in Oakland Unified School District.
Launched in 2017, the Latino Student Achievement (LSA) initiative creates the systemic conditions, culture, and competencies necessary to advance student achievement in Oakland Unified School District (OUSD). In partnership with the community, LSA provides the academic, social, and emotional support needed to succeed in college, career, and life. LSA works toward this goal by recruiting and retaining Latino educators, affirming Latino identity, history, and culture through Chicano/Latino Studies, supporting Latino student leadership and affinity circles, providing care management and academic support for literacy gains and college readiness, and strengthening Latino family engagement linked to student learning. The LSA initiative serves more than 650 students across 20 schools
