LAUSD-Charters still in conflict

Even as Los Angeles Unified finally boosted efforts last week to give charter schools more space on district campuses, the move has caused dissent that could lay the groundwork for conflict between the district and the popular education movement. Naush Boghossian in the Daily News.

Two months after LAUSD settled lawsuits challenging lagging efforts to share its facilities with the independent schools, the district has offered space on traditional campuses to 39 charter schools - the majority of the 54 that applied.

The placement offers are the most the district has ever made and triple the 13 space assignments it offered last year.
