Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:01:42 GMT

Charter schools may soon have a bit more trouble gaining access to Los Angeles Unified School District facilities after the Board of Education voted Tuesday to limit campus sharing.The board's 4-2 vote intends to "prevent charter schools from leasing space on almost 350 district sites in an effort to protect vulnerable Black, Latino and low-income students from the negative impacts of sharing a campus," according to a report in the Los Angeles Daily News. Charter schools, which enroll about 20% of public school students in L.A., often lease space on LAUSD campuses for their own students.Sometimes, that leads to situations like that at Eastman Elementary, where a Los Angeles Times report indicated that damage from Tropical Storm Hilary forced about 75 charter students into the school's library and auditorium, "straining resources and patience" on the main campus.In a statement announcing the vote, the LAUSD Board said the requirement that public schools offer space to charter schools...
