Los Angeles Unified School District officials on Monday began issuing report cards on individual schools - a move designed to give parents a snapshot of school performance, increase accountability and even force changes in teaching and administrative staffing. George B.Sanchez in the Daily News.

Based on similar models in New York and Chicago, the report cards will track such measures as graduation, college preparatory courses, progress of English-language learners and faculty attendance.

The district will spend about $700,000 to mail some 614,000 report cards to parents this week. The cards can also be viewed online at the district's home page.
