LAUSD is accused of telling its teachers to take down GoFundMe pages in the wake of one of the classrooms being vandalized in the San Fernando Valley.
Cell phone video by a teacher showed that just about everything in the room had been trashed. The Los Angeles Police Department confirms that Chromebooks were also taken, in addition to gardening tools and quite a few other items.
The teachers we reached for comment say district officials are upset that they and the school are "looking bad" because of the publicity. The same publicity that is getting them monetary assistance and donations of all kinds of items seems to be problematic for LAUSD officials, who would not comment on camera about the allegation., from parents, students and clubs associated with the district asking for coverage.
