The AP (12/13) reports that "the cash-strapped Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is considering raising funds by turning to corporate sponsors." Current district policy bans "corporate advertising on campuses", but the school board plans to meet on Tuesday to discuss loosen the restrictions. "Under the new rules, selected companies would be able to place logos on everything from sports fields to cafeterias."
The Pasadena Star-News (12/12, Llanos) reported that "the plan could raise $18 million a year - money that would go directly to athletic programs and extracurricular activities that face the chopping block." However, say LAUSD officials, "they will not permit direct advertisement on campuses" and "they will screen sponsors carefully so corporate messages don't conflict with district policy."
