Since the early 1970s, low student achievement had been a pattern. In 1993, tired of being helpless and hopeless, Vaughn became the first conversion charter school in the nation and was authorized by LAUSD. The charter was renewed most recently in 2018. Vaughn has over 25 years of experience as a successful independent charter school serving the districtrsquo;s low-income students. This previously failing elementary public school is now a full-service, community-based, K-12th charter school that assures all students are college/career ready, digitally literate, and globally competent.nbsp;/p p dir="ltr"span style="color:#c0392b"strongPosition Overview/strong/span/p p dir="ltr"The Vaughn Next Century Learning Center is seeking an experienced, knowledgeable, and collaborative part-time food service worker to join our team.
