Los Angeles district takes back control of struggling high school

Oct. 10, 2011
Independent non-profit has been running Manual Arts High

From The Los Angeles Times:Los Angeles school district officials will retake substantial control over Manual Arts High, which has been part of a high-profile reform effort led by an independent nonprofit. The campus has been beset by crowding and endured a disorderly start to the school year that saw initial shortages of desks and textbooks and left some students without class schedules. Manual Arts High is one of three public schools controlled by L.A.'s Promise, which describes its mission as neighborhood improvement centered on local schools. The group took charge of Manual Arts in July 2008.
