From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa reiterated his call Monday for an audit of the Los Angeles Unified School District, saying he would turn to state lawmakers if district officials refuse to cooperate.
At an education conference, Villaraigosa said that if the seven-member school board balks, “I’m going to the Legislature and it will be done.”
Villaraigosa wants to take control of the school district, as mayors have done in New York and Chicago. But school officials have refused to permit a comprehensive review by city Controller Laura Chick.
