4.5% DWP RATE HIKE APPROVED YESTERDAY = $2.58 MILLION ANNUAL INCREASE TO LAUSD.

by smf for 4LAKids

With the LAUSD’s use of 430,000,000 kilowatt hours annually, it is estimated that the approximate 4.5% hike will result in a $2.58 Million annual increase to the District.

I will leave it to the teachers out there to assign this as algebra problems appropriate to the standards and curriculum for each grade.

  • How many pencils does this equate to?
  • …red rubber playground balls?
  • How many art teachers?
  • …library books?
  • …school nurses?
  • …furlough days?
  • How many kids in overcrowded classrooms?

Yesterday’s rate hike was a first step in anticipated future increases.
