Inglewood Unified's state-appointed trustee said he has no choice but to make cuts to fix the district's finances. Opponents says he's hurting schools.

The Inglewood Unified School District admitted two years ago it couldn't handle its finances. It was on the brink of bankruptcy and invited the state to take it over. But KPCC's Adolfo Guzman Lopez says the money issues haven't gone away, and that's creating a lot of friction.
