 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#990000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BACKGROUND:&lt;br /&gt;On January 27, UTLA launched a boycott of periodic assessments&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;   UTLA is calling for a complete boycott of all periodic assessments, Open Court Assessments, and any other district mandated tests that are NOT required by State or Federal law, or that aren&amp;#39;t needed to determine appropriate placement for a student, such as CELDT tests. We are boycotting the submission of the test data to the District. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.utla.net/pab&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;read more &amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
