Serving Bread

Get in a room with two LAUSD employees, and you will be quickly swept into the vortex of despair and complaints regarding this behemoth of an organization. From time to time I try to find some hope that this organization can function with an approval rating better than the President, but that might be just a hope for the future.

In the latest wave of mess-ups, LAUSD has either underpaid or overpaid its employees on June 5. My wife got a letter last week saying that she was overpaid and they want their money back (and they plan to get it back by July 5). Of course, they want their money back and it is totally appropriate for us to return the overpayment.

But, before I am totally ok with returning that over-payment, I decided to do some detective work. I am curious to see how many people were underpaid and how many people were overpaid on June 5. And, I’d like to know how quickly they plan on rectifying the underpayments.

I called both the LA Times and KNBC and submitted my idea for a story. But I knew that I have to take this into my hands, so for the past three days, I have put in a call to the payroll services department seeking those answers. Three days and no response yet. I plan on calling every day until someone gets back to me. And of course, phonecalls not being returned only fuels my school board candidacy, and some of my sane ideas to fix the system.
