Results in for LAUSD's low performers; Voting integrity an issue

The LAUSD vote for some of the District's lowest performing schools and yet-to-be finished schools was finished last Saturday.

The L.A. Daily News story tells about some problems with the voting.

The results are in but this is only advisory and the District will evaluate the results and make its conclusions and choices later.

I did have a page from the LAUSD web site with links to all the results for this election and the evealuations of the voting by different groups within LAUSD.

I will post that when I come back to it, and for now, you see the problems that came up and this still is not controlling.

At Lincoln High, there were two proposals submitted, one from the Principal-led group and one from the teacher-led group. That means that LHS will be under the operation of one of those two, and they will not be much different from each other in my opinion, with a few items obviously different and overall, the LAUSD influence still is there.
