District Administration - December 2006 - (Page 24)
TAKEOVER Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is scheduled to take control of the Los
Angeles Unified School District in January. I t's up to California's state
courts to settle a bitter tug of war between the mayor and school board of
Los Angeles over who will run the city's public schools. Un less a court
rules otherwise, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will assume substantial
control of the schools on January 1 under a bill he pushed through the
state legislature and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed in September,
calling it a great day for children. But it wasn't a great day for most
board members of the Los Ange- les Unified School District, who vowed even
before the measure was enacted to challenge it on the grounds that it
violates the Califor- n ia state constitution. T he challenge was launched
for- ma lly October 10, when a coalition led by the school district fi led
suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Partners in the litigation
include the League of Women Voters of Los Angeles, the California School
Boards Association, the school dis- t r ic t's two PTA groups, the Associ-
ated Administrators of Los Angeles, representing the district's school
administrators, and several parents. Who's In Charge Although they did not
join the lawsuit, rank-and-fi le members of the powerful Los Angeles
teachers union voted to back the school board, In LA? bucking their own
union leaders who sided with the mayor. Meanwhile, in the midst of the
politically tinged brouhaha, the board hired in October a new super- A
battle for control between the school board i ntendent , retired Navy
admiral David L. Brewer III, to succeed Roy and mayor goes to court Romer,
who is retiring after six years at the helm of the country's second By Alan
Dessoff largest school district. 24 December 2006 District Administration
