By Gloria Angelina Castillo, EGP Staff Writer
Applicant teams in the second round of Los Angeles Unified School District’s Public School Choice (PSC 2.0) are in the process of developing plans to be included in their application bids to turn-around chronically underachieving schools and manage new campuses. The applications are due Dec. 1.
Locally, East LA Star Academy High School falls under the district reform plan. Two charter school applicants, an education-focused organization, and a group from the LAUSD’s local district office have expressed interest in running the school.
