In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel to the District, based upon an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Bond Counsel further observes that interest on the Taxable Bonds is not excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Kline maintains he just wants to enforce the law and protect children, but critics charge that he's attacking a woman's right to an abortion and putting more kids at risk.

    Layoff Fight Gets Results More Than 250 RIF Notices Rescinded, and Most Remaining Positions at Risk Are Expected to Be Saved After the Start of the New School Year

    Award-Winning Newspaper of United Teachers Los Angeles • www.utla.net Volume XLIV, Number 10, July 17, 2015 Layoff fight gets results More than 250 RIF notices rescinded, and most remaining positions at risk are expected to be saved after the start of the new school year. The layoff fight heated up over the summer as parents, educators, and stu- dents massed at a series of LAUSD School Board meetings to urge Board members to rescind reduction-in-force notices and restore programs for the 2015-16 school year. Large groups packed the Board on June 9, testified at a June 16 public hearing, and were back on June 23. More than 250 layoff notices had been rescinded by the time the School Board ap- proved its 2015-16 budget on June 23, and it is expected that nearly all people on the 2014-15 RIF list will be rehired as a result of additional adult education funding and start-of-school-year vacancies. UTLA will keep organizing and building pressure to bring back all of our colleagues for the benefit of our students. The adult education program has the most positions still hanging in the balance: 241 educators, including 89 ESL instructors. In June UTLA and LAUSD sent a joint letter to state officials requesting additional adult education funding, citing the high level of need in Los Angeles as indicated by the 12,000-plus people on the wait list for ESL, career and technical education, and other classes. LAUSD is in line to receive additional money because of a change in state funding for adult education programs, and LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines has commit- ted publicly to using it to restore positions.
