Anyone needing evidence of the vast chasm between the district’s rhetoric and reality need look no further than LAUSD’s unprecedented number of charter denial recommendations that will be voted on by the LAUSD board Tuesday night.

Six schools serving 6,730 students are recommended to have their charters revoked, including LA’s top-ranked charter high school, while three other schools are being denied by staff their requests for revisions affecting 2,060 students.

All of the schools recommended for denial are outperforming nearby district schools, according to LA School Report, and none of the reasons for denial are based on student outcomes.
