The Los Angeles Unified School District Is the second largest school district in the United States. The schools are collapsing, but staff. & teachers are being given pay raises for failing.

From Legislation Take Action:
LAUSD has lost over 40% of its enrollment in the past two decades, yet they’re still operating at nearly the same staffing and spending levels as before.
This week, the LAUSD board unanimously approved an $18.8 billion budget that pulls from reserves for the second year in a row to cover a $3 billion deficit. Despite educating far fewer students (about 408,000 now compared to 700,000+ two decades ago), they haven’t closed campuses or significantly reduced staff.
How is this not a misuse of public dollars?
Why are we pouring more money into a system built for a student population that no longer exists, without any accountability for how those funds are being used?
Meanwhile, non-classroom-based charter schools that efficiently serve families with less funding and adapt to student needs are being targeted for cuts and closure under AB 84.
It’s time to ask the hard questions:
Who’s really mismanaging taxpayer money? And why are lawmakers ignoring the waste happening right in front of us and continuing to throw money at emptying classrooms?#AB84 #EducationReform #StopAB84 #AccountabilityNow #PublicEducation #FundingFail #CaliforniaPolitics
