Bidding for Valley schools

Charter school operators, teacher collectives and non-profit groups will present their plans today to run Valley Region Elementary School No. 9 in Van Nuys, one of 36 public schools up for grabs under a Los Angeles Unified reform plan. Connie Llanos in the Daily News.

The meeting is one of a series taking place in the community of each of the 24 new schools and 12 existing campuses whose operations will be handed over to the best bidder at the end of next month.

In the San Fernando Valley there are five new schools open to bids and one existing school.
