	CITY OF SOUTH GATE v. LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
		In accordance with their interpretation of the District's project and CEQA, appellants sought a writ of mandate in the Los Angeles Superior Court to compel the District to comply with CEQA and prepare a EIR prior to the District's implementation of a boundary adjustment between South Gate and Jordan High Schools.
		It reasoned that the mere transfer of students from one school to another by a boundary adjustment is of lesser impact than a closure of an entire school, and therefore because "the greater included the lesser," section 21080.18 must of necessity exclude the transfer of students.
		Nor is the District's boundary adjustment as intrusive as the school closure and transfer held not to be a project in Prentiss.

	Los Angeles Lay Catholic Mission \| March 2002 \| Downright Pornographic, by Maggie Garcia
		During her tenure at the school district, Gill's program routinely brought homosexual materials to schoolchildren under the guise of "diversity." Critics charge that some of the materials are downright pornographic in nature.
		The United States District Court for the Central District in December 1998 ruled against him, saying that the school district had board discretion in determining what was appropriate teaching material.
		Sung Park, an attorney whose child attends school in the district, said that he lost the lower court case on "procedural grounds." He told me that his case involves approximately 20 students ranging from elementary school to high schools.

	Los Angeles Unified School District v. City of Los Angeles
		The Los Angeles Unified School District petitioned for a writ of mandate compelling the City of Los Angeles to vacate its resolution approving a development plan for the area of the San Fernando Valley known as Warner Center.
		The School District brought a timely petition for writ of mandate in the superior court challenging the sufficiency of the EIR and the City's approval of the plan.
		The EIR did not directly respond to the School District's suggestion air conditioning and filtering might prove a feasible means of reducing the impact on the schools of increased air pollution resulting from development under the proposed plan.

	Ethics, Excellence and the Los Angeles Unified School District
		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.
		District employees who deal with testing should have training and instruction to reinforce their ethical obligations and help them observe and properly deal with improprieties.
		We recommend that each year all parents and guardians of children attending school in the District be sent or given a letter clearly stating the District's rules and policies concerning gifts, gratuities and favors to teachers and administrators and requesting their cooperation.

	Los Angeles Unified School District: Inner-City Teacher Blues
		The Los Angeles Unified District was mostly doing the best it could; most teachers were doing their job as best they could; most parents truly loved their children and wanted the best for them.
		I knew the following year the high school teachers in charge of our former students were going to look at the dismal level of academic achievement of their classes and curse us middle school teachers as incompetent, in exactly the same way as we middle school teachers cursed the elementary teachers, etc. etc.
		At Berendo Middle School, there were those teachers born into the role, so gifted and talented that I couldn't imagine them doing anything else as valuable or as satisfying and whose lives revolved around the school and their students.

		The district helpfully agreed to provide buses – that's right, buses – as well as "adult supervision" to the nearly 800 high-school students who walked out of 10 high schools.
		District officials said they thought it best to provide adults and transportation, since, you know, the kids intended to go to the rally, anyway.
		And, given the less-than-superb academic performance of Los Angeles public-school students, the educrats – one would have thought – would have frowned on allowing the kids to skip classes.
