LAUSD facing threat of more cuts

Just when Los Angeles Unified officials need their advice the most, the men and women who help the district secure funding from Sacramento and Washington, D.C., are being laid off to cut costs. Connie Llanos ni the Daily News.

LAUSD's Government Relations Office - staffers with expert knowledge on government funding for schools - is being cut to three people from 11.

The office has been busy reading through federal documents ensuring that district staff understands how much federal stimulus money they should be receiving, how they can properly distribute it, and how they can compete for future pots of cash.
