Will there be a split up of the LAUSD in the San Fernando Valley? Maybe into 6 unified school districts? (Woodland: bankruptcy)

[LAMetroArea747626]

I know it has been done before in the 1970's, but can there be another proposal to break LAUSD in the San Fernando Valley into multiple unified school districts sometime in the future, so that the valley can be a more better place to live before any secession movement?

Like for example:

- Van Nuys Unified School District
- Northridge Unified School District
- San Fernando Unified School District
- Woodland Hills Unified School District
- Pacoima Unified School District

I know you guys think that an incorporated city in the valley formed after secession from LA City limits would still be under LAUSD boundaries, but what about breaking up LAUSD territory in the San Fernando Valley into 5 or 6 unified school districts stated in the ideas above first before making any secession movement to break off from LA City limits in the SFV into 5 incorporated cities that were LA city neghcborhoods and having Sylmar and Mission Hills to join with the city of San Fernando to make the valley a better place to live?

What do you guys think?

It's a separate issue from secession from the city of LA. One which I think is definitely worth pursuing. Won't be easy to pull off, though.

I'd love to see a state law capping maximum school district size at 100,000. Only three districts in the state of California would be affected: LAUSD, SDUSD, and LBUSD. Of course, the CTA, CSEA, SEIU, and all other public employees' unions would be dead set against this, and would expend all of their power to stop this. LAUSD's inevitable bankruptcy may have to happen before this can be done.

I think with Vergara v. California getting tossed, it will be full speed ahead for Charters, there is a lot of money in support of Charters. I think UTLA is fighting a losing battle but they continue to raise dues in an effort to win. UTLA seems more focused on keeping their union intact than student results, which are abysmal.

People have been saying LAUSD should split for decades. I don't ever seeing it happening. The Union is the strongest in the country, with the possible exception of NYC.

I could see it happening once LAUSD goes bankrupt, which it will.
