LOS ANGELES (KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO) -- Los Angeles Unified School District is under attack again for consulting contracts worth almost $175 million. Some of the consultants are hired to help students and teachers in the classroom. But others hired for administrative and technology services have critics of the district calling for more oversight.
The head of the teachers' union says it's a good idea to trim the excess. LAUSD faces a potential $460 million shortfall under Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget.
