Compromising The Safety Of Public School Students

To comply with PROP-39, the LAUSD allows privately run charter schools to operate on its campuses without adequate controls to protect children.

“This story was updated to reflect that while the incident occurred at the address for an LAUSD middle school, the students were enrolled at a non-LAUSD charter school that is co-located on that campus.”

- KTLA

The initial report from KTLA that stated paramedics were called to an LAUSD campus in Koreatown on Thursday for a “medical incident” seemed strange given that district students were still enjoying their winter break. The Los Angeles Times clarified the story somewhat by reporting that the incident, which had “no indication of…being fentanyl-related”, occurred at a charter school that they did not name. A correction to the KTLA article then noted that the students attended “a middle school affiliated with the charter school chain Citizens of the World, [that] shares a campus with the LAUSD’s Virgil Middle School”.
