School board members are due to vote on the plan on Tuesday, Dec. 3.

District officials are hoping to lure some West Hollywood parents to keep their kids in LAUSD after elementary school.

It could be years before noncitizens can actually cast ballots. The district first wants to find a way to safeguard registrants' info from federal authorities.

Tests show that the school's water is safe -- but it's also yellowish, cloudy and "sizzling." The solution? Let the water run for a few seconds, the district says.

California is one of only five states that doesn't give every school a single, bottom-line rating. Some say that's progressive. Some say that's confusing.

The LAUSD board is considering a system to give each of its schools a grade rating of its academic performance. A 2013 Indiana scandal is a cautionary tale.

Why was the water at Clifford Elementary coming out a little bit yellow?

The Saddleridge Fire left a mess on LAUSD school campuses that were in or near evacuation zones. District crews were still cleaning on the second day after classes resumed.

Overall, there were modest, across-the-board improvements. But progress has been slow -- and some groups of students continue to lag their peers.

Many LAUSD school board members seemed unhappy with the new plan. But in the end, most voted to approve it.

Pasadena school board members say dwindling enrollment numbers gave them little choice beyond closing three of the district’s 17 elementary schools.

The district says some charters that "co-locate" with district schools have likely forced their "hosts" to give up classrooms dedicated for art, music, science or computer classes.
