LA Unified board members were jolted last month when a top LACOE official showed up unannounced to tell members they were spending more money than they made and the savings account is about to run out. It got worse this week, when she returned and brought a top state official with the same message.

They said that the first step to avoiding a takeover was to cut what you spend and do it immediately.
