LAUSD adds execs

Less than two weeks after taking the helm of Los Angeles Unified, Superintendent John Deasy is adding six-figure positions to his reorganized management team - a move he says will help the district meet his ambitious performance goals. Connie Llanos in the Daily News.

The nine administrative jobs are being added even as the district faces a $408 million budget deficit and 5,000 teacher layoffs next year.

But Deasy said the shakeup will not drain the district's general fund - in fact, it will save $25,000 - because it also involves eliminating some jobs and reassigning current personnel.
