LACCD Message-ID: Greetings: I hope this email finds you well. As has been communicated previously, the Payan Vs. LACCD court hearing date is nearing closer. This is a landmark case that has implications for students attending school across California and beyond, where accommodations may no longer be respected and/or honored at many educational institutions, as well as other implications for accessibility within the classroom. As students, you understand how accommodations play a significant role to ensure success in your various educational aspirations and goals, as well as maintaining pace with your peers in the classroom. We are looking for a significant turnout of supporters from students to attend the hearing to show how monumental of an impact this holds for students across California, as well as for other schools in other states in the country. The date to attend is Tuesday, November 18, 2025. The hearing begins at 9:00 AM. Having as many supporters is highly encouraged. The location is: Richard H. Chambers Court of Appeals 125 S. Grand Ave. Pasadena, CA 91105 If transportation is needed, it may be possible to seek some assistance. Please contact myself, Florentino Becerra, or Angelica Aldana, to discuss further. We would ideally like to see as many students as possible! Contact info: Florentino Becerra Email: becerra.florentino at gmail.com Angelica Aldana Email: angelicaaldana143 at gmail.com We hope to see you come out and support the future of students at this landmark hearing. Once more, the date is Tuesday, November 18, 2025, and the time it will start is at 9:00 AM. Be well and prosper.
