"Tuesday, July 14th: School District’s Future at Risk"
Board will consider motion to hand over new schools to outside groups
On Tuesday, July 14, the Los Angeles School Board will be considering a motion sponsored by School Board member Yolie Flores Aguilar, Richard Vladovic, and Monica Garcia creating a process, funded and managed by outsiders, which basically gives away new schools to non-LAUSD groups under the guise of improved education. An outside "leader" will also "develop a template and process" for plans to operate new schools, including instructional practices.
See motion text (Item #33) from School Board agenda as of 11 am, 7/13/09 (4 pages)
Instead of passing off their duties to outside entities, the LAUSD Board should accept accountability for what the motion calls the "chronic academic underperformance of public schools" and take responsibility to establish and run quality schools for the community.
It is imperative that many of our members attend the Tuesday, July 14, School Board meeting to protest and block the "giveaway" of our schools. If passed, this motion will start the process of privatization of public education.

WOW! I must be psychic (see acrchives ...7 eleven opens a chain elementary schools). This is just the beginning. If you think the revived economy of next year or the year after will put every thing back to normal; you have about five or six years in reality to find out you were wrong you were. DEMAND CTA TAKE DECISIVE ACTION NOW!
