“It’s never enough for the (union) piggies at the trough.”
Uh, the administrators and consultants with the six figure salaries might be a lot of things, but they are not in the teacher’s union.
The average teacher in LA makes $47K.
Not to say anything good about a teacher union, far from it; but honestly, would you sign a contract to teach in LA for $47K?
Great, so they can buy more historic buildings and tear them down, like the Ambassador Hotel.
there is no low, too low. literally.
you forgot the largest factor - Mexicans. A huge percentage of the students in LAUSD schools are Mexicans or Mexican-Americans. They vote for anything with the word ‘school’ in it on a ballot (and yes, illegals vote in LA and have for a long, long time).
Since free education for their children is one of the biggest perks to having invaded America, they are all for trying to get as much money into the schools as possible since they aren’t the taxpayers who are going to be paying for those bonds.
I saw it myself over a decade ago when this trend started. And now its an annual thing. Nobody has any idea how much money has been authorized or spent and that is the way the bureaucrats and their illegal fans like it.
