Twenty struggling Los Angeles schools will get a major infusion of funding and other help in a defining effort to show that resources matter and that L.A. Unified can use them well.
Beutner also intends to revamp the training of aspiring principals. At present, he said, their preparation concentrates too much on how to comply with district procedures. He wants fledgling principals to spend an entire semester shadowing a highly regarded principal. And he wants their training to include community organizing.
Although Beutner hasn’t yet selected the schools or set a funding level, he sees the effort as a way to bust through the “seduction of incrementalism,” he said during a discussion with UCLA education professor Pedro Noguera before an audience of invited guests. “It’s going to take all of us,” the superintendent said. “So the county has to join this party. The city has to join this party. The state has to join this party.”
“We’re going to concentrate dollars in our highest-needs schools serving our highest-needs students to show we can do it, and we’re confident it’s going to work,” he said in a later interview with The Times. “That will be the proof point to advocate for more, to be able to do it in more schools.”
