Inglewood Unified Shows Progress Toward Ending State Receivership
Inglewood Unified School District (IUSD) may be closer to exiting state receivership than it’s ever been. On Wednesday, a report from the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) to the school board confirmed that while measurable progress has been made towards returning the district to local control, the end is not yet in sight. Still, the FCMAT report was a cause for celebration.
State Budget, Local Exodus Loom Over Inglewood Unified
At the Inglewood Unified School District (IUSD) Board of Education meeting on Wednesday, parents and teachers lined up to express their frustration with the state of education in the district. Under receivership, the district has struggled against declining enrollment and lack of autonomy. The district announced the closure of five schools in April, citing financial necessity. The IUSD Board of Education has been relegated to that of an advisory board under Administrator James Morris, who was appointed by the L.A. County Office of Education. Board members, in reality, currently have little power.
State Receivership Leads to Inglewood School Closures

Beverly Hills Men’s Hoops Bests Inglewood, 52-43
The Beverly Hills High School men’s basketball team tipped off against Inglewood High School Monday night, as the two evenly matched teams squared up for what was assumed to be a close game. Beverly Hills, led by head coach Jarvis Turner came into the game with a 12-10 record and sat second in the Ocean League. Inglewood, led by head coach Jason Porter, was 10-9 and was in third place in the league. A home game with the full band and cheer squads in effect gave Inglewood the possible edge in a tough matchup between two teams that had similar seasons so far. But after beating Inglewood by ten points earlier this month at home, the Normans fully expected to compete in this game.
