LAUSD is violating the law on arts education spending, former Supt. Beutner and unions allege

An alliance that includes labor unions, parents and former Los Angeles schools Supt. Austin Beutner has accused L.A. Unified of violating a voter-approved state law designed to increase spending for arts instruction and is calling on the Board of Education to reject an internal report sanctioning the district's handling of the funds.

' Beutner's coalition includes the leaders of the school system's two largest unions — United Teachers Los Angeles and Local 99 of the Service Employees International Union, which represents the largest number of nonteaching workers, including bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers and teacher aides. Also signing on was Teamsters Local 572 and California School Employees Assn. Chapter 500. Under Proposition 28, each school is empowered to decide how best to enhance arts programs.
