	Los Angeles Unified School District - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Los Angeles Unified School District (the "LAUSD") is the largest (in terms of number of students) public school system in California and the second-largest in the United States.
		Every LAUSD household or residential area is zoned to an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school.
		The LAUSD fought over the defunct landmark with among others Donald Trump, who later walked away from it, with the legal battle dating back to 1989.

	Law Offices of Ben Kim - Special Education Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		LAUSD moved to be dismissed on the ground that it was not a necessary or proper party to this proceeding.
		LAUSD contended that there were no claims or allegations being made against it by Petitioner, and that it would be improper to require LAUSD to sit through a hearing when there are no claims of wrongdoing by LAUSD.
		The Hearing Officer found that LAUSD was not a necessary or proper party to the proceeding because Petitioner, as the party who requested the hearing and thus the party entitled to frame the issues for hearing, unequivocally indicated that he had no disputes with LAUSD he wished adjudicated through this proceeding.

	Policy Issues and Prospects of the LAUSD Breakup
		Both teams of experts concluded LAUSD suffered from "a pervasive, substantial and systemic inability to deliver special education services in compliance with special education laws."[22] This conclusion led to a Consent Decree (Consent Decree or the Decree) to be administered by the District Court.
		By virtue of being subject to a Consent Decree, LAUSD remains under the jurisdiction of the Court and under the supervision of the Administrators of the Consent Decree.
		The Court found LAUSD to be grossly out of compliance with this requirement and ordered the school district to comply with this law by installing a centralized computer system that tracks statistical data, assessment results, current IEP's, grades, and other information for every child receiving special education services.

	Ethics, Excellence and the Los Angeles Unified School District
		In September 1998 the former LAUSD Board of Education adopted a one-page Ethics Policy Statement and Code of Ethics applicable to the Board and all employees of the District.
		If the LAUSD Board believes that the District is unmanageable as currently constituted, or that the wrong administrators are in place to make effective management possible, then it has a duty to act.
		LAUSD is such a large and complex organization that the success of top administrators is far more likely to be based on their management skills than their knowledge of education.

	LAUSD's Refusal to Adopt the California Mathematics Standards
		The LAUSD Informative further claims that textbooks aligned with the new California State Standards would have to be supplemented to rise to the level of the LAUSD math standards.
		The LAUSD math standards are in conflicht with California state policy which does not allow calculator usage on the STAR exams in the elementary grades.

		LAUSD could have feasibly created a school campus that treated the rich history of the Ambassador as an asset, not as an obstacle.
		A 2002 historic resources survey of LAUSD campuses, also to be formally recognized by the Board of Education as part of this settlement, identified 50 LAUSD schools as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places; these schools will be able to apply for grants.

		Constructive LAUSD reform efforts honestly meant to enhance the success of your youth that are advanced by respected civic and political leaders in Los Angeles are met with vitriolic and personal attacks by LAUSD leaders and their highly compensated PR flacks.
		He is the uninformed propagandist who would rob the children of LA of the extraordinary leadership being provided by the seven board members - and their highly paid PR consultants - and the thousands of school district administrators and their vendors.
		LAUSD leadership has a habit of deflecting, then denying, and then defending it's poor practices from all critiques.

	Los Angeles Conservancy \| Preservation Issues
		LAUSD has claimed that it would be preserving the heritage of the hotel’s grand Embassy Ballroom, but, in fact, only its ceiling would be salvaged and then reapplied to a new room in the new school building.
		However, since LAUSD has stated that actual construction would not begin on the Ambassador site until late 2006 or early 2007, there is ample time for legal arguments to be heard by a judge before demolition and construction would begin.
		Our proposal is simple: LAUSD can develop 75% of the 24-acre hotel property to provide the classroom seats they need, while at the same time preserving the main building of the Ambassador Hotel.

	TheAmbassadorHotel.com - Everyone spoke, but it's history.
		Many had wanted to see the hotel declared a city historical landmark, completely restored as a resort hotel, and the land to be kept as a single parcel for the hotel, or at the very least have the hotel converted into a school as a last ditch effort to save it.
		Multiple proposals were brought forward and many alternatives preserving the hotel were feasible, yet the LAUSD couldn't seem to arrive at a decision that pleased anyone but primarily themselves and those in the neighborhood desperate for a school.
		It quickly became the object of a tug-of-war between the purchasers and the LAUSD, who claimed eminent domain ("a right of a government to take private property for public use by virtue of the superior dominion of the sovereign power over all lands within its jurisdiction").
