L.A. school construction chief resigns
Sep 29, 2009 10:55 AM
From The Los Angeles Times: Guy Mehula, the head of the Los Angeles Unified School
District's massive school construction program, has resigned after an apparent power struggle with district leadership. In a brief
letter to subordinates, Mehula gave no hint of discord and characterized
his departure as an opportunity to search for new challenges. But
critics say Mehula's resignation is fallout from a growing rift between
his facilities services division and district headquarters, prompted by
policy changes made by Supt. Ramon C. Cortines that threaten to
dismantle the division.
