		<description><![CDATA[Most people I&#8217;ve spoken to about California&#8217;s school finance system, regardless of their political views, seem to agree that it&#8217;s a mess. The researchers on the Governor&#8217;s Committee on Education Excellence described it as &#8220;the most complex in the country, lacking an underlying rationale and transparency,&#8221; inequitable, inefficient, unpredictable, unstable and inadequate. Mike Kirst, the Stanford University [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m still waiting to hear how much money OUSD paid in legal expenses to pursue this case in federal court. What I do know is that the district won $325,000 from Bryant &#38; Brown.

As I reported in today&#8217;s Trib, the Oakland school district filed a federal lawuit against the small Oakland law firm (pictured here), alleging racketeering, fraud, theft of public funds &#8212; you name it.

About 40 percent of new OUSD hires in recent years fall into this category; they come through &#8220;alternate route&#8221; programs such as Teach for America and Oakland Teaching Fellows.
