L.A. schools chief vows suit to block cuts to bus-service funding
L.A. schools Supt. John Deasy announced Tuesday that the state’s largest school system would file suit to block fresh budget cuts that would end state funding of home-to-school transportation for the rest of the school year.
The so-called trigger cuts are set to take effect automatically because the latest projections of state tax revenue are well below hoped-for levels.
The effect on the Los Angeles Unified School District would be a $38-million midyear reduction in transportation funding. That amount represents a 50% cut halfway through the year in that budget.
