The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is the second-largest district in the United States. As Superintendent of LAUSD Local District South, Michael Romero was instrumental to the district’s work to overcome disruptions to learning caused by COVID-19—on an unprecedented scale. As the LAUSD prepared to go back to school in a remote learning environment, Michael partnered with Todd Rogers’ team to implement a groundbreaking pilot of an attendance outreach program in a remote learning environment.

In this edLeader Panel, watch Michael as he shares vital learning and insights from his work to support students and families in the age of COVID-19, and Todd as he shares his team’s groundbreaking research on preventing absences in a remote learning environment.
