District faces funding hurdles for new school facilities
Hargrave warns the district may struggle to raise funds for new facilities while De Anda criticizes the plan as inadequate and the Justice Department backs a constitutionally adequate prekindergarten option. Bernstein says the prekindergarten plan was not preferred but acceptable to resolve the case quickly. The judge may appoint a master to determine if the consent order remains adequate.
