Parents choose LAUSD to run schools

Parents, students and community members favored keeping Los Angeles Unified School District in charge of a majority of the 13 campuses that will be opened for bidding in the second round of the district's landmark Public School Choice plan. Connie Llanos in the Daily News.

The reform program allows outside groups, such as charters and nonprofits, to compete with district-based teams to take over the operations of under-performing or new campuses.

The school community and public are allowed to cast non-binding votes expressing a preference for which team will run their local campus, but the final decision remains in the hands of the superintendent and school board
