Backers outlined an ambitious strategy to place half of the students in the Los Angeles Unified School District into charter schools over the next eight years, a move it said would serve as a model for the rest of the nation, according to documents obtained by The Times.
The 44-page report is dated June 2015 and outlines a campaign of fundraising and building political awareness aimed at reaching the goal, which the report said would require $490 million.
L.A. Unified already has the largest charter school program in the country, representing about 16% of total enrollment.
