A student walks past a Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) school bus in Los Angeles, California on February 13, 2009.

Yesterday the school board decided who will run more than 30 LAUSD campuses, voting to hand over the majority of schools to district teachers, with only 4 schools going to independent charter operators, and 3 schools to Mayor Villaraigosa’s own educational nonprofit, the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools. 18 of the schools are new campuses opening in the fall, but 12 are schools that are consistent low-performers. What does this mean for the future of LAUSD? Are charter schools limited in their appeal? Are your kids in one of the affected schools?
