I find it to be upseting all of the cuts that the very smart Mr. Cortines has done and will do after summer. I mostly getangry when the first area of the district to be affected is the Special education dept. This group already needs more asistance and it will only make it worse to remove more special ed teacher and special ed coordinators from schools . It is a shame that Mr. Cortines feels this needs to be done . He needs to spend the stimulus money he has already received .
LAUSD ( CORTINES ) I'm ASHAMED of you .......
these are pics i took from outside my window ,I was sad I could not attend with the teachers on that day since I had 3 appointments with David ...

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles Unified School District teachers went to plan B Friday after a judge barred them from staging a one-day walkout.
UTLA changed their plan because it didn't want the teachers to risk getting hit with $1,000 fines or losing their credentials.
The union held a loud demonstration at district headquarters Friday that ended with the arrest of 46 protesters who were blocking traffic. Teacher's union president A.J. Duffy was among those arrested.
Teachers also marched outside schools before class started for an hour to protest proposed budget cuts and layoffs, then reported back to classes.The efforts are to voice their opposition to the LAUSD decision to authorize layoffs that could cost thousands of teachers and school employees their jobs and increase class sizes.
District officials went back court on Thursday seeking a more extended restraining order against the teachers, saying they were concerned that teachers would take part in intentional acts to cause a work stoppage, but the judge refused to extend his orders any further.
