    Los Angeles Unified students, staff, parents and partners champion their communities every day. 

    This week we recognize Pupil Services and Attendance Counselor Dora Casillas for 18 years of dedicated service at Los Angeles Unified. Students and parents in Dora’s school community appreciate her support with academic, social-emotional and career development by improving student attendance and providing resources to help students succeed.
