LAUSD wins under School Choice plan

Despite years of complaints about low-performing schools in Los Angeles Unified School District, parents, teachers and community members apparently gave the district a vote of confidence in balloting designed to help choose operators for 36 schools under a new reform program, according to results released Tuesday.Connie Llanos in the Daily News.

In every school, voters chose LAUSD as the preferred operator under the School Choice plan, which forces the district to compete with outside groups to run new and underperforming campuses.

The vote, however, was advisory only, and some critics have questioned a system which allowed people to vote more than once under different categories.
