I was thinking last night, that even Monday, with LAUSD having 26,000 students leaving, that really isn't huge compared with 305,000 HS and middle schoolers registered.
It may be a small percentage, but it's costing the city $$$s - outside of the police, loss of productivity, etc. for those sitting on the freeways in their cars, I heard on the radio that LA gets $28/day per student. If the students aren't in class, the city doesn't get the money. Yesterday or Monday cost them something like $1M. I also read that the Mayor was telling the officers to hand out truancy tickets. Haven't heard any more about that.
