'What does this say about Los Angeles as a city when we can’t raise money for public education and our homeless population has increased by 16% in the last year? Shame on us all.'
We refuse to fund our children’s education properly, and then we are surprised when so many young people end up on the streets.
I saw storage closets full of unopened textbooks, because there was no available staff to process them. I was in charge of the budget at three different schools and got to know just how the process works and doesn’t work. The low turnout and the lack of majority support for the tax — far below the two-thirds threshold needed for passage — betray a misplacement of priorities by society. Our future success depends on our children getting a good education. The recent LAUSD teachers’ strike apparently was not enough to convince voters to support Measure EE and provide more funding for students.
The public supported LAUSD teachers during the strike but must have changed its mind when voters found out they would be paying for Measure EE with their property tax.
