It's still a couple of months until the new electeds replace two outgoing members of the LAUSD Board of Education, but longtime member Julie Korenstein is making parting gifts already.
Big-time gifts: She donated more than $300,000 to schools in her board district, which is in the northeast San Fernando Valley.
The school district just sent out a press release on the donations, which come near the end of Korenstein's 22-year span on the board. She gave $320,000 to 122 schools, and $83,500 for "buses, field trips, computer software, classroom materials, serving carts parent and youth summits," according to the release.
Korenstein was known for maintaining a very small office staff to reduce costs to the school district. In July, she'll be replaced on the board by Nury Martinez, who's currently on the city of San Fernando council.
