I asked the author about it, and this was his reply:
I read that LAUSD’s operating budget for 2007 was $11 billion this year. I haven’t found a new link for it. Their budget was reported at
$13.367B in 2005 (page 34) and their construction bond was
$19.2B, until it was raised this year.
Ask the inquiring freeper to save the links ASAP. LAUSD has a way of killing links like these before challenging my numbers… I was surprised to see the $19B link back up – it’s been dead for a few months…
