As racks of shirts and blouses and rows of folded pairs of pants and jeans went on display at the 28th Street Elementary School in Los Angeles on Monday, Sept. 23, all available to L.A. Unified School District students in need.
“Today, we announced the opening of five Clothing Boutiques to support students and families facing homelessness,” said Superintendent Alberto Carvalho in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “It’s crucial we provide more support to those affected.”
As part of the iAttend Outreach Day, Carvalho announced the grand opening of the on-campus boutiques to support students and families experiencing homelessness on Monday.
The boutiques are part of the district’s approach to addressing chronic absenteeism by making sure that homeless students have what they need to attend class regularly.
“We have made about $1.7 million dollar investment across different areas in the community,” Carvalho said, “to ensure that children have access to basic needs.”
