Great requests! Waiting for the answers!
Another misinformed attempt to justify concerns ‘for the children’. There’s nothing LUSD would love to do than make sure you see they’re spending enough money “per child”. So where’s the Learning-Quality-Concern? Why don’t you get copies of the history books that show the kids are taught more about Slavery & The Black Panthers and their victimization than World War I of II, or the truth about Civil War. It’s a clear curriculum issue to us who moved to private schools that are more responsible to parents instead of the state. Requests? Shouldn’t even have to know.
