LAUSD stalls its 'transformation'

Supt. David L. Brewer has not done much to inspire confidence in his year at the top of the Los Angeles Unified School District, but one initiative that seemed to convey an appreciation for the district's urgent need to think differently was his plan to declare 44 secondary schools a "transformation district" and lavish them with resources. Appropriately, he chose the city's lowest-performing schools and touted his proposal as part of a larger vision for desperately needed improvement districtwide.
