Last week, some 40 Los Angeles schools with underused classrooms learned that some space on their campuses have been offered to charter schools. Charter operators say that until this year, the district has never tried to meet its obligation to an eight-year old state ballot measure that requires district facilities to be shared. Only about half a dozen charters currently occupy district buildings, a fraction of the expanding population of 129 charters operating within district boundaries. Charter advocates sued and reached a settlement in February. District faculty and families have expressed concern about competition and crowding.
