L.A. Unified once again embarks on a tough search for a new superintendent |
|
Less than two years after members of the L.A. school board chose a superintendent from the district's ranks, they now find themselves in search of a new one — and the task may be harder than ever. The nation's second-largest school system has a dizzying array of problems, but the board is divided on how to solve them. Meanwhile, there aren't many candidates considered qualified for such a daunting job, and those who are may be getting other offers. |

Newport-Mesa trustee area map OK’d by O.C. committee and moves on to state |
|
The Orange County Committee on School District Organization voted Wednesday to approve the Newport-Mesa Unified School District's proposed trustee area Map G, which is designed to make the zones more equal in population.
The boundary adjustments are part of the district's decision to change its election system so trustees will be chosen by voters in the zones they live in instead of by voters throughout the district.

12,000 kids will leave LAUSD this year: District weighs options to fill looming financial hole |
|
As LA Unified continues to lose 12,000 students every year, administrators will be notified of expected job losses, restrictions could be made on how to spend one-time funds coming from the state, and labor partners will be called on to be part of the solution. Next year’s projected enrollment decline was reported Tuesday by Chief Financial Officer Scott Price during a budget update to the school board, which made no decisions on how to offset what equals a loss of about $130 million a year — roughly what the district receives in per-pupil funding for 12,000 students. |
