Low bar for lifetime job in L.A. schools
The Los Angeles Unified School District has a plan to improve education. Give all employees raises. Teachers and administrators. Oh. And hire any incompetent hack who can manage to show up to collect a paycheck.
The Los Angeles Unified School District has screening and enforcement procedures that are so good, that a male teacher who inappropriately touched a female student while still on probation, was given tenure. Of course, after being notified multiple times over the years, the School District decided to try to fire that teacher. 7 years and $2 million after making that decision, the teacher is still on salary (although no longer teaching) and the School District is still no closer to firing this teacher.
Don't you wonder how much worse it would be if the School District didn't care about students? Don't you wonder if you could tell the difference?
