One of the most controversial UTLA agreements is that LAUSD will put a pause on allowing new charter schools to open up. UTLA wants to put a cap on charter schools because they say that charter schools take money away from LAUSD schools. Schools get money for each student that attends, so when those students leave and start going to charter schools, their former schools won’t get money for them anymore. Some also say charter schools provide a worse quality education, while others say they can provide a better alternative for educators and students who feel limited by LAUSD’s rules.
