President of LA School Board Steps Down After Guilty Plea

The President of the Los Angeles Board of Education stepped down after being found guilty of money laundering involving campaign donations. President Rodriguez was the first charter school operator to join the board of education and received more than $2 million from California Charter Schools Assn. Advocates (CCSA Advocates) during the election. He was backed by supporters that wanted to convert the public schools in Los Angeles County to a charter system.
