Path to Recovery

Recovery Funding

Schools can log into the LRP site at https://psd.lausd.net/lrp_shopping_cart/ to check on the status of their order.  Enter the requisition number that was assigned when the order was entered to see a summary of your order.  If an STO number was assigned to your order, it has been scheduled for delivery.  The delivery date is typically one week after the “Date Created”.

You can also contact the Procurement Services Customer Service unit for assistance.  They can be reached at cs.stores@lausd.net.

In all instances of supplemental pay and additional hours for Certificated and Classified employees, how the work time information and documentation is collected and maintained is at the discretion of the Administrator.  As always, it is imperative that the school has a system of accountability in place that satisfies compliance and record retention policies. This may include, but is not limited to, an initial form for compliance and approval, and secondary form for data entry and payroll records or a single form that satisfies both.

You can calculate the number of classified supervision hours in Program 15423 by dividing by $22 and then again by 40.  See the example below:

$8,800 ÷ $22 = 400 total hours

400 ÷ 40 days = 10 hours of classified supervision time per day

Schools that need additional classified supervision time can submit a plan with justification for approval to their COSA.

Signage related to the re-opening of schools can be ordered through Reprographics.  You can access their website at www.lausdrepro.net to see a variety of signs available to order to assist in the re-opening of schools.  When ordering, enter "COVID" as the funding line.

However, in the event of a staffing shortage, an equivalent service may be provided, or PSWs may be shared based on school size and need. Schools should refrain from purchasing PSWs out of their own funds at this time.

Psychiatric Social Workers will also be allocated at the Community of School and Local District levels.

All computer and tablet replacements rely on accurate Remedy data. Please ensure device status is up-to-date as soon as possible. IT Asset Management will validate device needs based on student enrollment with an additional 5% buffer starting in April 2021.

If devices “checked-out” plus “devices in inventory” is less than student enrollment, then there is a device deficit and devices will be provided.

If devices “checked-out” plus “devices in inventory” plus 5% buffer is more than student enrollment, then there is a device surplus. No additional devices will be provided unless device buffer falls below 5%.

Submit a service request to IT to have devices repaired.
