In an already underfunded district facing cuts one employee receives over half a million dollars just to leave.

Does it bother anyone that a man with no educational background leaves LAUSD with half a million in cash? I invite more people and educators like myself to question and investigate why and how this is being allowed.

Sincerely,

Mr.Ramirez

Par for the course, another person of color is blamed for a systemic problem that the state has failed to address. Not a surprise in the educational community.

Why did the school board hire Brewer, who had no education experience, to head the 700,000-student district? The board knows nothing about public education!
