Childcare shortages affect the whole region, as public policy changes like Universal TK have, despite real benefits, disrupted the financial sustainability of childcare across California. As they close, more will not necessarily be able to replace them.

Regents meet this week to consider both a settlement and the closures.

In any case, state and local officials will need to be involved as the impacts to the public go beyond UCLA.

2. It doesn't eliminate risk for families, who will be lucky to find any childcare and must simply hope it is better run.
3. It does not rid UCLA of risk--they still are running multiple K-12 schools with a system that has failed once and has not been reformed.

Zbur apparently worked with Durazo on this.
Gives the lie to any claims they have to be for “local control” or for “community processes."
If those interminable, expensive processes ever yield a result rich special interests don’t like, they are simply vetoed in a backroom - process be damned.
