More classrooms for Mexico’s children!

The shame is the nice tagging that goes on at these quarter billion high schools and such.

Deport all the illegal aliens and their anchor babies and there would be more than enough space in LA’s schools.

Isn’t it strange how school funding is based on property taxes, but then people cram 15 of themselves into single-family dwellings and there isn’t enough property tax revenue for the services those 15 require ?

Rather than expecting people from other areas of the state — or even the county — to pick up the tab, this needs to be funded by taxes on the precise neighborhoods these schools will serve.

They’re only spending $20 billion on construction? I think it should be a lot higher. After all, it’s for the children.

This is not unique to LA. Big problem here in NYC as well. I assume the rest of the US metro areas are suffering the same problem. 20% construction costs escalation each year.

I notice in the paper today the LAUSD graduation rate for 06 was 41%. Talk about falling down on the job. We are developing a permit underclass that can only lead to trouble in the future.
