Episode notes

In 2017, parents and advocates filed a complaint alleging that the Long Beach Unified School District had misspent a vast amount of funds meant for low-income, homeless, and foster students. The math was simply not mathing. The complaint was a longshot but after a year of fighting the school district’s PR machine and high-priced lawyers, it ultimately led to a historic settlement.
