Population living in Los Angeles Unified districts shrinking. Most families move out to suburbs that are not LAUSD.
Didn't know about the staff ratio increasing so much. Yet more evidence of a bureaucratic state gone wild

Take Pacific Palisades before the fire as an example:
  1. Palisades high school is a charter school. Many if not most of the students don’t live in pacific palisades.
  2. Many palisades parents send their kids to private schools
  3. The push for affordable housing: one reason is public school enrollment has dropped in affluent areas

  1. movement to private or charter schools or public school outside LAUSD
  2. families leaving Los Angeles
I have a friend who moved to La Canada from Sherman Oaks many years ago so their kids could avoid LAUSD. The other option was private school which is grossly overpriced in the city because the public options are so terrible
