LOS ANGELES : School Board OKs Move to Leadership by Clusters
- Share via
The Los Angeles Board of Education unanimously approved a restructuring plan that will eliminate layers of the district’s central bureaucracy and shift decision making to clusters of high schools and their feeder campuses.
Under the plan, to take effect in July, the district will be divided into 27 independent clusters, governed by groups of teachers, administrators, parents, community members and school staff, and managed by “cluster leaders” appointed by the superintendent.
The restructuring effort will cost approximately $7 million, which will come from funds now being spent on central and regional administration.
