LA County Says Montebello Unified Could Go Broke by 2019

An August 24, 2017 article published by the San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports that the Montebello Unified School District is projected to go broke by the end of the 2018-19 school year due to its irresponsible money management. Among the key findings are significant increases in teacher and administrator salaries, costs which are at a level that will be clearly unsustainable in the near future.

Students are pictured in the article expressing their opposition to the district’s fiscal mismanagement. We say, bravo students! Stand up and defend your fundamental rights to a quality public education that puts your needs above all else. You deserve to have the quality education that provides you with the best opportunity for success in life. If your district does not provide it, you have the power to make a better choice. Choose a public charter school!
