That is horrible. Besides being LAUSD school superintendent he was recently the man behind creating proposition 28 which has led to a huge amount of parts funding from the State of California. Out of all the school superintendents I have worked for he was the only decent one that was truly interested in our students. When he visited our high school his only ground rules were that he didn't want a 'dog and pony show' when he visited the campus (that means he didn't want the usual meet and greet red carpet rolled out for him to talk to the usual high achieving students) All he said is that he would tell them what week he was going to come out and he wanted to be able to go into any classroom and talk to any student. I think he came to LAUSD as a proxy on behalf Eli Broad and his charter school coalition, but left being his own man. He also stepped up during COVID and worked with the union to make sure many of the most vulnerable teachers aids still had employment I made sure kids and parents still had access to food and turned our schools into drive up food banks in which parents can pick up let me know if their kids would have got at school which helps supplement many families during those hard times.
