LAUSD'S LATEST SCAM- CLEARLY FALSE ASSERTIONS OF TEACHER OVERPAYMENT
If you are a current or retired employee of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) there is yet another assault you might find yourself being subjected to- the clearly false allegation that you were overpaid by LAUSD, when the reality is that there is a greater likelihood and in many cases clear and convincing evidence that you were significantly underpaid. In the last few years, LAUSD has been in the process of going after thousands of teachers for these alleged overpayments without any evidence to substantiate that this ever took place and for the sole motive of lessening its bottom line at any cost.

Rather than do this LAUSD has turned over these false overpayment claims to a collection agency, even though such action is clearly illegal. Worse yet, teachers who have already been targeted for removal from the district on other trumped up charges have found themselves significantly more likely to have LAUSD come after them for these bogus overpayment charges that LAUSD refuses to substantiate with any documentation.
What is making this possible is the LAUSD payroll revision disasterof several years ago with all of it's yet unsettled payroll errors that contrary to claims in the L.A. Times has not come to an end. On the contrary, this payroll revision disaster can now make lemonade out of the lemon that it continues to be by obfuscating under supposed LAUSD claims of "annualization" under which "justification" it claims that teachers were overpaid, when in fact they were not.
