CVUSD Celebrates Workforce Readiness Week
From April 27th through May 1st the Conejo Valley Unified School District celebrates Workforce Readiness Week. The observance of Workforce Readiness Week is a unique opportunity for schools to elevate the importance of workplace justice and for students to learn about the critical history of the labor movement in our state.
This year, Assembly Bill (AB) 800 (Ortega) has been implemented in all California public schools. AB 800 requires that all California public schools provide students in grades eleven and twelve with essential information about their rights as workers through grade-appropriate lessons during Workforce Readiness Week.
At the March 18, 2026 Board of Education Meeting, Resolution #25/26-36 In Support of Workforce Readiness Week was approved.
