Middle class students leaving for a better education. The board is fighting the city on school reforms. Some areas want to break away and now the superintendent is leaving. This is not LAUSD but Pasadena…in LA County.
Pasadena unified has faced these same problems. Altadena wants out, the city wants to change the way the board is elected. Right now a candidate declares for a particular seat and then runs district wide. There is a run-off if no one gets over 50% in the primary. The superintendent was bought out after a several years of service. Good stuff. Read about it all here in the Pasadena Weekly.
I bet parents are glad they aren’t part of LA Unified.
