LAUSD has placed a $7 billion Dollar bond on the ballot. I know there are a lot of bonds on the ballot, but this is the “worst” in California.
Los Angeles Unified has already passed four multi-billion dollar bonds in the last ten years. FOUR! The money doesn’t run out until 2012.
This bond contains billions that are not school-specific, and allows the board to spend on almost anything it wants. Lsush fund for pet projects anyone?
This is the best. According to the Daily News over the last six years, as the number of students and teachers declined, the district increased its non-teaching staff by 20%.
Less teachers, less students and more bond money. Only makes sense in LAUSD.

The LAUSD is like a nuclear bomb. The death and destruction travels well beyond the blast zone. School Districts as far away as Kern County are beginning to feel the effects of LAUSD’s precipitous decline.

LA is a hopeless morass and the schools mirror this fact!
The Commissars are coming to the rescue…spend more money….that will fix it…
The only thing that will fix LA is gentrification….but why try….with Villar and his minions running things….stay on the sidelines and wait to pick up the property, businesses and infrasturture out of LA insolvency proceedings.
