What it really costs to run an LAUSD school

Louis Pugliese, Daily News IN June, once again taxpayers will be
asked to ante-up in a parcel tax for the financially and
academically bankrupt LAUSD - the money-sucking bureaucratic
nightmare that should have disintegrated long ago and gotten out of
the business of running schools. It's high time that Los Angeles
Unified School District comes clean on the real costs to run a
school - without the added cost of the district administration as
the toll collector. Taxpayers, parents and teachers have the right
to know what operating a school would take without the district's
bumbling bureaucracy, fees, consultants, waste and "encroachments."
Of course, they'll never do that. So maybe it's best we just do it
ourselves...
