THIS WEEK IN HISTORY:
January 28, 1986, at 11:38 a.m. EST the space shuttle Challenger lifts off from Cape Canaveral, Florida,
and Christa McAuliffe is on her way to becoming the first ordinary U.S. civilian to travel into space.
McAuliffe, a 37-year-old high school social studies teacher from New Hampshire, won a competition that
earned her a place among the seven-member crew of the Challenger. Seventy-three seconds into the flight,
hundreds on the ground, including Christa’s family, stared in disbelief as the shuttle exploded in a forking
plume of smoke and fire. Millions more watched the wrenching tragedy unfold on live television. There were
no survivors.

District Policy You Should Know
Los Angeles Unified School District Employee Attendance Policy
While the vast majority of employees have a strong commitment to their work and excellent attendance, it is also clear
that unnecessary absenteeism has a negative impact upon student achievement due to interruption of the continuity of
instruction, and results in reduced productivity, loss of service, and significant costs to the Los Angeles Unified School
District ( LAUSD).
