The Arts School in downtown L.A. was originally budgeted as a $70 million project, then raised to $120 million before construction began, then finished with a final cost of $573 million.

Giving LAUSD more money to manage seems like a bad idea to me.

It would be interesting to see where the money really goes. Cause it's NYC it's sure not to the teachers or for getting the students books. Not that the students would even use the books, and whatever books they get they never return at the end of the year.

I have read somewhere that the ratio of administrators to teachers goes up constantly. That would also explain the rise in college tuition. More and more administrators and consultants to pay. Wish I could find hard numbers somewhere. But as with all political discussions real data is hard to find..,
