Schools Oversight Plan Is Shelved
- Share via
A proposal to consolidate more power for the Los Angeles County Board of Education was shelved Tuesday by board President Thomas Saenz.
The proposal by Saenz would have given the county board oversight over boundary changes and school district breakups. Another agency that serves under the board currently oversees those issues.
Saenz also serves as legal counsel to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Other board members and some school officials in the county feared that Saenz was trying to gain more power for the mayor, who is seeking control over the Los Angeles Unified School District.
