Los Angeles Unified school district has been ordered by state officials to redirect their spending of hundreds of millions of dollars in an effort to bring aid to those students who would most benefit from extra academic help.
In a May 27 report, the California Department of Education determined that LA Unified had misdirected $450 million in benefits for special education students in addition to the contributions needed to meet the requirements associated with the Local Control Funding Formula, which is weighted in order to offer more services to those children who need them the most, reports Howard Blume for The LA Times.
