California schools seek revenue from Hollywood productions

From The Associated Press: In an era of budget deficits and teacher layoffs, schools in the Los Angeles area are looking at a nontraditional source for some extra cash — Hollywood. School districts from Lawndale to Glendale are seeking to earn thousands of dollars a day from renting their campuses as locations for movies, TV shows, commercials, and even truck parking. The money is being used to save teachers' jobs, upgrade school facilities and replenish districts' dwindling funds.
