Yesterday, the Los Angeles School board voted (6-1) to open the district schools (and some proposed schools) to charter schools.
This is great for charter schools (like mine) and bad for unions. The union (UTLA) doesn't get money from the teachers at charter schools, but schools like Green Dot get the option of bidding for these new and current schools. These will not be (as some comments on the Times page suggest) private schools, but public schools with competition.
