LAUSD Board Approves School Choice Plan Amidst Cries of 'Recall' - LAist


LAUSD Board Approves School Choice Plan Amidst Cries of 'Recall' - LAist:

"The LAUSD's Downtown meeting room was packed with people, many of whom were there to express dissent about the plan and how the District handled engaging the public in the pre-vote discussion process. The meeting ran 'more than four hours of debate' and included 'often- heated public comment,' ahead of the vote, which saw only Marguerite LaMotte voting against the plan, according to the Daily News. Often, as Board President Monica Garcia and Aguilar spoke, the crowd issued cries of 'recall,' and implying they should be jailed, according to one Twittering attendee."
