On June 21, 2006, Mayor Villaraigosa gave up his effort to take over Los Angeles Unified School District.
It's probably for the best since California Teachers Association (CTA) wouldn't have allowed any real reform. This is how CTA described this development:
"Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, along with ...Lynne Faulks of the California Teachers Association (CTA), announced a historic agreement in principle for a comprehensive legislative package ushering in a new era of progressive reform in LA's schools."
They agreed that the Superintendent should have more power. If that would take politics out of the decision-making process, then I'm all for it. But let's hope politics doesn't enter into the decision of who will be superintendent.
