Birmingham High’s charter-conversion struggles show difficulty of …
Los Angeles Times
For months the San Fernando Valley campus has been torn between pro- and anti-charter forces who have accused each other of among other things bullying vandalism burglary racism and fraud. It was perhaps fitting that the final days of the charter drive were dominated by a stir over a photo shoot at Birmingham by Sacha Baron Cohen the comedian and star of “Bruno” whose raunchy alter egos have the ability to make almost anyone look less dignified than they are. Cortines superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District said Tuesday that he was disciplining the school’s principal and athletic director for allowing the photos but if the charter passes that will be moot. Intentionally or not school district leaders have managed to send a powerful message — perhaps summed up as “Are you nuts?” — to other public schools that might be considering charter conversion. “I think what Birmingham is going to mean in a larger sense is how difficult it is to reform within the system — how many different kinds of special interests there are all pulling in a different direction” said school board member Tamar Galatzan a Birmingham alumna whose district includes the Van Nuys school.
