This section includes additional information about the PAR Program, including the kinds of support offered and the LAUSD/UTLA PAR Panel.

Component One: As described in Article X, Section 10.0a of LAUSD/UTLA Bargaining Agreement:

Component One provides review, assistance, and guidance to permanent teachers who have received either an overall below standard Stull evaluation or a Notice of Unsatisfactory Service, in either case as a result of below-standard teaching skills. (If such an evaluation or notice has resulted in a grievance which has not been resolved by the commencement of services for the following school year, the teacher shall nonetheless be required to enter the PAR Program at that time.) Full participation by the Participating Teacher is a mandatory duty, to the extent that such services are made available.
