In the same week that LAUSD issued 11,500 pink slips to warn of potential layoffs to teachers and other staff members, the LA Daily News has discovered that the district has hired a social media “coordinator” to the tune of $93,000. The district was quick to point out that $87,000 comes from a […]

LAUSD’s School Experience Survey arrived at my house yesterday. It could be in your child’s backpack, or it might be mailed home (secondary schools). The survey is an attempt to gauge parent satisfaction of many aspects of the school–from safety to meeting with teachers to the school having programs for parents. The questions are […]

LAUSD is offering an online survey to families who wish to provide input on homework and how much it affects a grade, on moving a passing grade from a “D” to a “C,” on social promotion, and how best to provide intervention to students.
I think as the survey goes on, it gets […]

Interdistrict Permit Applications Available
By Angel Zobel Rodriguez On February 29, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Public School Choice, Uncategorized
Families interested in obtaining an Interdistrict Permit to attend school outside the LAUSD boundaries should know the permit website is live. Applications are available from 3/1 to 4/30. In recent years, LAUSD has tightened its restrictions on families wishing to attend schools outside the district, claiming the loss of funds as a reason.

In the effort of saving time today, I’ve posted over at “Ask A Magnet Yenta” to explain what an affiliated charter is as compared to an independent charter. Several schools are in the midst of this process, thanks in large part due to the change in Title I funding, and the loss of the $85,000 […]

It hasn’t been the greatest month to be an LAUSD parent. Or for that matter, a staffer, an administrator, or a teacher. First the Miramonte scandal rocked the headlines with one teacher, then a second, and then another arrest of a janitor at a different school. Several more instances of inappropriate behavior […]

This week hasn’t been a good one for LAUSD. Or parents. Or students. First the news that a 30-year veteran teacher from Miramonte Elementary school was arrested on lewd acts with a child. And honestly, if that was the only story, I wouldn’t have written about it. The news has covered it well. The police […]

After a robo-call from John Deasy this evening and a Daily News article this afternoon claiming the program would end February 3rd, the funding for the Donors Choose/Wasserman Foundation grants are all gone as of Tuesday evening.
Families attempting to redeem cards on the Donors Choose website were met with a message […]

The second leg of the Donors Choose/Wasserman Foundation Los Angeles programs rolls out today. Participating Starbucks offer free $10 Donors Choose gift cards, following a program that provided $15 cards to LAUSD families late last year. But for families along the 118, you’re frankly out of luck. Chatsworth, Porter Ranch, Granada Hills, Mission […]

It’s a case of deja vu all over again, but Superintendent John Deasy hit the airwaves yesterday proposing another parcel tax to increase funding for LAUSD schools.
The $200-300 per year parcel tax is targeted for the November election–after the 2012-13 school year begins. So the district has to make the draconian […]
