In the paragraph that cites what percentage of types of students attend the school district no where does it mention White students as being part of the academics there. This has to be impossible. I'm sure there are more White children attending the schools than not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Njpaul0129 ( talk • contribs) 19:41, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
In the opening paragraph, it says the 2008 budget was $19.986 billion dollars. With 684k enrollment, that comes $28.7k per student. Harvard tuition for comparison is $33.6k. The citation is an invalid URL, and I suspect that the number cited was actually a one-time construction levy. If no one can document this number, can we remove it from the article?

WHO "CORRECTED" the budget for the 2007-2008 year?? PLEASE POST THE FINANCIAL AUDIT of the LAUSD BUDGET for the 2007-2008 YEAR. Instead there are postings of the "adopted budget", the "budget proposal", "estimated budget" none of these are facts and actuals...Grubbiv this looks awefully suspicious, where did $6,000,000,000 disappear to? And even if it was a "construction levy" if it was part of the actual budget then it still affects the numbers. You were accurate initially with the $28.7k per year, per student. And if you are going to post only the budget for the 2008-2009 year then please post the number of students that attended that year. Are you saying that we can't figure out one year later how many students attended LAUSD in the 2008-2009 year?
Harvard's tuition in 2007-2008 was $45,620. (RED1)

On November 16, 2007, the WorldNet Daily posted "Battle-scarred 'sub' in L.A. barrios speaks out" by Migdia Chinea Varela, a screenwriter and former substitute teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Chinea stated that, in many schools she served, the students had no interest in learning, abused the teachers, vandalized property, and joined gangs. Chinea, who was injured on the job, stated that teachers are underpaid and under-appreciated in the district. She described the campuses in LAUSD as "mess, filthy, dilapidated and without supplies." Chinea believes that the district is taking little action against the conditions rampant in various low income schools. [2]
You're right; arguing about whether teachers are underpaid is not really the point. In fact I agree with your opinion. However, I still don't understand how the publishing of this article, which happens to be written by you, is a significant event in the history of the LAUSD. Also, by the way, I am a teacher of ten years, and I don't know a single teacher who thinks that they are "putting their life on the line" when they show up at school.-- red shirt guy ( talk) 00:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Dear WhisperToMe: "Jose Luis Rodriguez, the principal, says that he spoke to Gutierrez because some parents did not appreciate Gutierrez requiring students to attend off-campus screenings of Fahrenheit 9/11 and Crash."
The above blurb seems odd. It is Gutierrez who wrote a book and he is the teacher about whom articles are written. Somehow I don't believe that Gutierrez would have required his students to watch anything -- and I would imagine that suing LAUSD is too big an endeavor in which to engage over being "spoken to" -- especially since LAUSD is a 14 billion dollar bureaucracy.

http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2004/crime03/9.asp 9. Nonfatal teacher victimization at school
This indicator has been updated to include 2001 data.
From 1997 to 2001, teachers were the victims of approximately 1.3 million nonfatal crimes at school, including 817,000 thefts and 473,000 violent crimes.
Students are not the only victims of crime at school. Teachers are also targets of violence and theft in schools. In addition to the personal toll that violence may take on teachers, those who worry about their safety may have difficulty teaching and may leave the profession altogether (Elliott, Hamburg, and Williams 1998). Information on the number of crimes against teachers at school can help show the extent of the problem. Estimates of teacher victimization are drawn from the National Crime Victimization Survey, which obtains information about the occupation of survey respondents. These events are not limited to offenses committed by students; offenses committed by others against teachers at school are also included.
Over the 5-year period from 1997 to 2001, teachers were the victims of approximately 1.3 million nonfatal crimes at school, including 817,000 thefts and 473,000 violent crimes (rape or sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault)(table 9.1). Among the violent crimes against teachers during this 5-year period, there were about 48,000 serious violent crimes (accounting for 10 percent of the violent crimes), including rape or sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault. On average, these figures translate into a rate of 21 violent crimes per 1,000 teachers, and 2 serious violent crimes per 1,000 teachers annually.4
During the 5-year period, the annual rate of violent victimization for teachers varied according to their sex and their instructional level (figure 9.1 and table 9.1). Over the 5- year period from 1997 to 2001, male teachers were more likely than female teachers to be victims of violent crimes (39 vs. 16 crimes per 1,000 teachers). Also, senior high school and middle/junior high school teachers were more likely than elementary school teachers to be victims of violent crimes (31 and 33 vs. 12 violent crimes per 1,000 teachers, respectively).
Teachers in urban areas were more vulnerable to violent crime victimization at school than others. For example, annually over the 5-year period, urban teachers were more likely than rural and suburban teachers to be victims of violent crimes (28 vs.13 and 16 crimes, respectively, per 1,000 teachers). Teachers in urban areas were more likely than those in rural areas to experience theft at school (42 and 26 crimes per 1,000 teachers, respectively).--Mig 16:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

"Accountability at Last?" There is no accountability at LAUSD because nothing ever gets implemented. And no one will read the "flow chart" Cortines submitted to the district. That diagram will be thumb tacked on a bulletin board like all the other memos. It might get more attention if it's printed on the tp in the rest rooms. The Cortines "decision-matrix flow chart" will be interred along with the "mountain of paper work" that goes to Brewer's desk daily that someone in his staff will have to read and interpret for him -- as he expected with the child molestation memo regarding Markham VP Rooney. This "decision-making flow chart" is a sheet of paper with rectangles which depicts the chain of command at LAUSD. So Cortines is treating LAUSD employees like students who must have information pre-digested in a visual manner because they're too illiterate to read. It's the final dumbing down of the district. They've dumbed down the students for so many years that this is all they know. They're already aware that no one will read a memo at LAUSD.
As Cortines has said, "Seventy-five current district employees have been placed in 'non-school' positions until the matter is wrapped up." What a joke, this thing will never be wrapped up. As Winston Churchill said after the battle of Britain "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end." Cortines would like for all of this to go away -- but since he was just hired by the district, he may be the only one who is not involved in this scandal. It appears that there's an entire cushy desk job mini-district at 333 South Beaudry where they keep LAUSD-approved child molesters and their do-nothing "superintendents" -- they must have a lot of desks in a room that should include the Admiral. Also, please note that all these employees are paid their full salaries while LAUSD claims to be "investigating," but doesn't, in violation of their own policy.
Before this is all over the LAUSD will have to build a 29th floor at Beaudry to warehouse everyone involved in the scandal. This affair is going vertical and could reach the very top of the school district -- including Brewer himself. Brewer is the elephant on the 24th floor at 333 South Beaudry. When will everybody wake up and smell the peanuts on his breath?

Accountability in LAUSD sex cases Deputy superintendent Cortines' move to discipline L.A. Unified officials is just what the district needs. May 8, 2008
What a difference a new senior deputy superintendent makes. The disciplining of two top Los Angeles Unified School District officials who failed to follow up on suspicions that a student had been molested is the sort of accountability the district has long needed and sorely lacked.
District rules -- and basic common sense -- required an internal investigation of Stephen Thomas Rooney after suspicions arose that he had conducted an affair with one of his under-age students at Foshay Learning Center. Instead, after temporary reassignment to a desk job, Rooney was transferred to Markham Middle School in Watts, where he allegedly molested two other girls.
At first, the results of a district investigation into its blunder looked disheartening, as Ramon C. Cortines, the new No. 2 man at L.A. Unified, released a mushy written statement. He placed most of the blame on a now-retired manager -- how convenient! -- and announced a new bureaucratic scheme for avoiding such problems. It was as though the district had gone looking for an explanation of how it disregarded its own policy and instead found what Cortines' statement called a "decision matrix flow chart."
Fortunately, Cortines' actions spoke louder than his written statement. On Tuesday, he removed Carol Truscott, the superintendent of the local mini-district where Rooney had worked, from her job. He also removed a former administrator in her office who was about to become the principal of a new high school. (For the moment, they've been assigned to the central office.) An internal memo shows that Truscott, along with 11 other L.A. Unified managers, was notified of a police investigation into allegations that Rooney "had an unlawful sexual relationship with a minor." As the manager who should have been closest to the situation at Foshay, and who would have had to approve Rooney's reassignment, Truscott bore chief responsibility.
The district's breakdown in the Rooney case kindled a new crisis of confidence in school management. That has been exacerbated by the Foshay student's recent testimony that the school's dean suggested she recant her story and by the arrests of two administrators at another school who were charged with trying to hush up allegations of molestation by a substitute teacher.
Parents demanded a clear signal that the district no longer will tolerate employees who, whether inattentive or devious, fail to place student protection over preservation of the status quo. With his action, Cortines took a step toward restoring trust in L.A. Unified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.175.88.91 ( talk) 19:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
LA Times - Tim Rutten:
Let down, again, by LAUSD Protecting an alleged child molester won't get you fired from L.A. Unified, but supporting a charter movement will. May 14, 2008
Every day, the Los Angeles Unified School District fails its tens of thousands of ambitious students, dedicated teachers and hardworking principals in so many ways that it's difficult to imagine how its elephantine bureaucracy could shamble into some new outrage.
Difficult, but not impossible, because the LAUSD runs this city's schools about like the generals run Myanmar.
Put aside for a moment the fact that the district can't figure out how to graduate a decent number of its students, or even how to pay its teachers on a reliable basis. Ignore the Daily News' report this week that the administration, confronted with what may be half a billion dollars in budget cuts, nonetheless is spending $173 million on consultants, many of them connected to various bureaucratic functions -- like making the computers in the superintendent's office work.
Consider, instead, how the LAUSD's highest officials have chosen to deal with what would seem to be the fairly straightforward problem of child molestation. As The Times' Richard Winton and Howard Blume reported Tuesday, Supt. David L. Brewer and Senior Deputy Supt. Ramon C. Cortines reinstated a pair of South Gate high school administrators who had failed to report a student's allegation of sexual abuse by a substitute teacher. County prosecutors, who criminally charged the pair, are outraged.
It's as if the LAUSD never learns. Earlier this year, remember, the district pulled former assistant principal Steve Rooney out of the Foshay Learning Center in South L.A. after the police informed it that he was suspected of having sex with a student. After a brief stint at a non-school job, Rooney was assigned to a middle school in Watts, where he allegedly molested two more students.
Brewer and Cortines feel the two South Gate administrators, who face criminal charges for failing to report the student's allegation, have suffered enough. After all, they were suspended for three days without pay and had a reprimand placed in their personnel files. Cortines -- who recently was installed at the LAUSD to prop up the foundering Brewer -- told The Times, "I want them to use their experience to share with others so we don't have this situation happening again."
Cortines' explanation has an appropriately pedagogic air -- until you stop and think about it. At the very least, the district should have kept South East High principal Jesus Angulo and assistant principal Maria Sotomayor on administrative leave until the criminal charges are resolved, though the senior deputy said their jobs are safe even if they're convicted. That makes his assertion that the returning administrators will somehow become object lessons about the importance of following state laws even more laughable.
If the pair had been sent back with the words "criminal incompetent" branded on their foreheads, he might have a point. Somehow, "Gee folks, don't forget to report child molesters -- or you'll get a harsh note in your permanent record," doesn't seem like much of a deterrent.
Of course, when the district's turf is at risk, its actions are swift and harsh. As The Times reported in another article Tuesday, the district last spring quickly removed Frank Wells, the principal at troubled Locke High School. Was he replaced because of the school's abysmal academic performance? Or because the campus is seething with gang activity and violent ethnic tensions between African American and Latino students?
Naw. Wells was sacked after openly supporting efforts to convert Locke into a charter school.
Maybe it's too much to demand that our schools be entirely insulated from the social ills of the communities around them. Still, it doesn't seem too much to ask that children be physically safe while they're on campus. And while it's probably not feasible to keep every swaggering little gangster or bullying race baiter off the school grounds, it certainly seems reasonable to expect that students will be protected from their teachers' criminal impulses. At a bare minimum, every allegation of faculty or staff misconduct should be treated with all the urgency that the law, decency and a simple sense of adult responsibility demand of anyone entrusted with the welfare of children.
Clueless and smug, neither Brewer nor Cortines seems to understand this. Instead, they've chosen to address a genuine human tragedy -- an adult's fundamental betrayal of a child -- in the language of callous bureaucracy, a dialect in which euphemism piles on evasion and indifference compounds mendacity until an edifice of wispy gray banality arises to shield the unforgivable from critical view.
One of the LAUSD's high-priced consultants was paid to give "media interview and presentation training to the superintendent, members of senior staff and cabinet."

Teacher-librarians were put on trial, having to demonstrate they had taught within the past five years in order to be classified as teachers and avoid layoff. Teacher-librarians are credentialed teachers and credentialed librarians, and they countered LAUSD's argument, asserting that they teach students every day on how to use the Internet efficiently, effectively, and ethically; conduct independent study and research; and nurture a love for reading and literacy.

The entire district was shut down on this date due to an emailed threat. New York authorities quickly judged to be a hoax by a prankster based on factors in the text (such as spelling Allah with a lower case "a") when they and other school districts in the country received similar threats from the same IP. The coverage in this article might include how many times in history the entire school district been shut down because of a threat of a bombing or shooting, the timeliness of the decision relative to the time the threat was received, and what the financial and personal costs of the shutdown were. This seems a rare enough and significant enough event that it should be mentioned in this article. Edison ( talk) 18:23, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians, I am flagging the heading "21st Century" due to it's inclusion of an article ("Battle-scarred "sub" in L.A. barrios speaks out") by World Net Daily, an notoriously far-right website with numerous references to it's false reporting and spreading of conspiracy theories on it's own Wikipedia page WorldNetDaily [1] . As such I do not believe that it's inclusion due to the unreliability of the site that it came from and am recommending it's replacement by a more reliable source.
Cheers.—

As a strike looms between the LAUSD and UTLA union, I saw that the LAUSD website does not contain any mention of the several contentious historical teacher strikes. Hundreds of newspaper articles and other resources discuss these strikes. I see this segment as perhaps a start on a larger page on teacher labor relations, or even an article on the history of teacher strikes in California. There are many other potential cross-links and additional references. Frankly, this whole page could use a bit of an upgrade.
I can further see a whole section on the impact of charter schools -- I did not realize that there are more charter schools in Los Angeles than any other school district in the country.
There is also possibly the need for a section on board member Rod Rodriguez guilty-plea for election fraud.
I also fixed the reference to Beutner as the "interim".
All comments are welcome, especially clean-up of my citation formats.

There is nothing in the article about huge strike - [3] , [4]. Regards. 2601:647:4200:D900:1DD9:8ADA:D6A2:83C4 ( talk) 04:23, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
The current wikipedia page sites LAUSD's Fingertip Facts from 2016-17.
The 2019-20 facts are here: https://achieve.lausd.net/site/handlers/filedownload.ashx?moduleinstanceid=52741&dataid=80515&FileName=Fingertip%20Facts2019-20_English.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.120.92.229 ( talk) 20:54, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
I feel like there should be a section about the 2019 teachers strike. Since the strike has its own article [ [5]], the section wouldn't have to be too detailed, as we can link readers to the article. Also, maybe something about the closures due to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Maybe not a whole section, but I feel like it should be mentioned at least.

Parts of the article are difficult to understand...
