Malibu Wants Its Own School District The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District is looking to dehyphenate, a split that’s been likened to a divorce. Malibu city leaders think it’s time to have a school district of their own, but in order to get their way, the city may need to pay out some money to its poorer neighbor, Santa Monica.
Which Way, L.A.?
Looking for Fairness in Public Schools The Santa Monica-Malibu School Board is meeting tonight for the fourth time on an issue that could divide the district in two. Last night, the Malibu City Council voted to start that process. The root cause is that California is not providing enough money for K-12 public schools, so parents who can afford it are coming up with cash on their own.
