LAUSD facing $1.1 billion deficit

The Los Angeles Unified School District unveiled a financial blueprint for the next three years Thursday that projected a $1.1 billion deficit through 2012, likely causing more class size increases, program cuts and steep reductions to services. Connie Llanos in the Daily News.

District officials are weighing whether to propose a new parcel tax that could help support LAUSD's budget.

They said all federal stimulus dollars have been used to plug holes and fund required programs. They asked employee unions for concessions and community members for support of the potential tax that could be voted on as early as this fall.
