Where to Drop Off Your Mail-In Ballot

You have to hand-deliver your mail-in ballot now, in order for it to be received by Tuesday. Like many of us, if you work one city and live in another, some of these locations may be more convenient to you.

 

It's times like this, when it's too late to actually mail your mail-in ballot, that Patch comes to the rescue.

Any polling place on Election Day will take your ballot. In addition to that, before and during the election, look for these ballot drop-off location. Note that unless otherwise noted, many are only available during normal business hours, usually closing by 5 p.m.

These are the special education numbers for LASD and BCS for the 2011-2012 school year, the mostRead More recent year that has complete data: LASD had 462 special education students in a total enrollment of 4,486, or 10.3%. Total education expense was $7,319,175, or $15,842 per special education student. Of this expense, they received $3,549,684 from the SELPA, so their expense was about twice the amount they received. BCS had 29 special education students in a total enrollment of 465, or 6.2%. Total education expense was $221,149, or $7,626 per special education student. Of this expense, they were allocated $295,126 from the SELPA, so their expense was completely paid for by the amount they received (they did not keep the excess - it was returned to the SELPA).

Corrections: 1. Straw man attack: nobody is blaming BCS for district-wide growth. Nobody. 2. BCSRead More does not get "half the funding" of LASD. BCS gets about 6500 and LASD gets about 9500. The BCS program for typical children costs about twice as much as the comparable LASD program. BCS is simple an expensive hybrid public/private school, nothing more. 3. Mr. Roode pointed out that there are about 100 or so special ed. students at LASD (I cannot verify this but it seems very low). LASD calls out an annual expense of $7.5 million for special ed. meaning each of these students cost LASD $75,000, not $1,000 as he implied. 4. The law and the courts have ALREADY compelled LASD to give reasonably equivalent facilities and they have. BCS has a lower student/teacher ratio meaning that they have more classrooms for the same number of kids. This is not, legally speaking, LASD's problem. 5. Mr. Roode has yet to explain how the Covington campus could be 16 acres. Further, he continues to spread the fallacy that campuses ACREAGE is even remotely relevant to its student capacity. Campuses are limited by their location and traffic, not how many acres of grass there is in the back. 6. Were it not for BCS, we would have passed a bond in the last election, as the polling shows. BCS litigation has ripped our community apart and has left it with a mountain to climb when it comes to operating in a normal fashion.

@David R. I think Homestead uses EarthCare Recycling, based on its April 6 E-Waste collection dayRead More publicity (http://bit.ly/10mIV14) : www.earthcarerecycling.com "Recycle FREE your old electronic equipment - working or not! Anything with a plug or PC board inside. Also accepted are non-household batteries, VHS tapes and other media, and scrap metal. Visit www.earthcarerecycling.com for a list of accepted items. "

What kind of bins are there? Do you take used CDROMs? How about VHS tapes? Cables and wire?

I saw a public report that said most of the discussion related to carpooling and so forth, sinceRead More Blach is separated so much from the rest of the school. You know, things like dropping off both kids at Egan, and then a group of kids headed for Blach share a ride or vice versa. I don't see how any nonparents can really help with that.
