Settlement: $151M to Be Directed at L.A. Schools Serving Low Income Students

The money will be disbursed over three years and will be directed toward schools in “low-income neighborhoods.” The 2015 lawsuit filed by Community Coalition and Reyna Frias, a parent in East L.A., alleged the district misspent $450 million per year.
