“The charter school’s current academic performance levels are not meeting the academic needs of its students,” the LAUSD’s Charter School Division wrote in a “notice of violation” report on the Academy of Media Arts in April 2023. The Starcraft 40-passenger bus was traveling westbound on Exposition Boulevard with only the driver and one passenger aboard when the collision occurred, according to a statement from USC Transportation. The bus driver and passenger were the two most severely injured, according to fire department officials. As of late November, Los Angeles officials had submitted requests for nearly $193 million in federal reimbursements for Project Roomkey, receiving $13.5 million, according to figures provided by the city.

Warren County grand jury indicts man accused of dousing girlfriend in gasoline, setting house on fire

Because DTLA is so spread out, visitors tend to come and go without having the opportunity to explore. That’s going to change when The Grand becomes the ideal way to pre-game before a show, see a free live performance in The Grand’s public plaza, or finish the evening with an unforgettable meal at one of our award-winning restaurants. One stop in LA’s dynamic downtown gives fans ultimate access. Last fall, Mayes charged two local officials who delayed the certification of midterm election results in 2022 in Cochise County. The officials voted against certifying the county’s election results by the statutory deadline after they aired baseless accusations about the integrity of the election for months.

Homeless people also have been relocated to the hotel from encampments in downtown, Little Tokyo, Koreatown and other parts of the city. A PCSO press release said that several children were playing in a bounce house when a strong gust of wind sent it flying into a neighboring lot. "On April 27th, while playing in a bounce house, (the child) was lifted airborne by a sudden gust of wind, resulting in fatal injuries," said Ashley Al-Khouri, a friend of the family, in the description of the GoFundMe she started to raise money for the child's parents. Los Angeles, June 15, 2021–The Los Angeles Christian Health Centers (LACHC) announces the Grand Opening of Joshua House Health Center, a new three-story community health clinic in the heart of Skid Row in Los Angeles. At opening, Joshua House will provide medical, dental, optometry, mental health, and social services to the Skid Row community—serving more than 7,000 people a year in almost triple the amount of space compared to its current facility. The clinic is owned and operated by LACHC and was developed by Skid Row Housing Trust.

Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani and Arizona 'fake electors' charged with state crimes

“The mayor’s office does not condone the behavior of the fugitive owner of the Grand,” Karger, the mayor’s spokesperson, said in a statement to The Times. He fled the country after the FBI began executing search warrants in 2018 and is considered a fugitive by the U.S. attorney’s office. While Hammond disputed the allegations, the school converted from charter to private later that year. Exposition Boulevard was closed in both directions during the initial investigation.

When approached by the security guard, the man said, “They are trying to kill me,” according to an school incident report. Williams said she used to spend much of her day walking the floors making sure no one broke into the school. The hotel is owned by Chinese billionaire Wei Huang, whose real estate company, Shen Zhen New World I, was found guilty of fraud and bribery charges in connection with the corruption case involving disgraced former Councilmember José Huizar. The academy had been scrutinized by LAUSD for failing to meet academic standards as students fell behind in subjects such as math and English. The school also failed to do proper criminal background clearances for teachers and had seven different principals over a four-year period, according to LAUSD records.

Amid heavy rain, Bass takes on a huge, long-standing homeless encampment in Venice

His school, which began in a South Los Angeles church, now had its own space where the students could have access to state-of-the-art facilities. What is missing are the students — some 50 ninth- through 12th-graders, many from low-income Black and Latino families, who were forced to scramble after the private high school in downtown Los Angeles abruptly shut its doors Jan. 15. Two victims were hospitalized with serious injuries and 16 others were transported in fair condition, the department said. LOS ANGELES (AP) — At least 55 people were hurt, two seriously, when a Metro light rail train and a University of Southern California shuttle bus collided Tuesday along a busy thoroughfare in downtown Los Angeles, officials said. A controversial measure that would require hotels in Los Angeles to provide vacant rooms to homeless people will go before voters in 2024.

A press release from the sheriff's office states that several children were playing in a bounce house when a strong gust of wind sent it flying into a neighboring lot. Bass was accompanied at Friday’s reception by Susan Rice, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, who is now director of the Domestic Policy Council for the Biden White House. Bass and Rice spent the day visiting skid row and other parts of the city with significant homeless populations, talking to outreach workers and unhoused residents. Bass told the crowd of residents and businesspeople that the operation would allow them to “reclaim” their local streets. She urged them to contact St. Joseph, which provided homeless outreach and other services during the Venice operation, when they see new tents in the area, to ensure those new arrivals also receive offers of housing and services. In 2021, more than 100 people were moved there from a massive encampment at Echo Park Lake, according to figures provided at the time by the mayor’s office.

"We conducted a thorough and professional investigation over the past 13 months into the fake electors scheme in our state," Mayes said in a video announcing the charges. "I understand for some of you today didn't come fast enough. And I know I'll be criticized by others for conducting this investigation at all. But as I've stated before, and we'll say here again, today, I will not allow American democracy to be undermined." Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, led the investigation. She won her election to be the state’s chief prosecutor in November 2022, replacing Republican Mark Brnovich, a onetime ally of Trump who later earned his scorn for not substantiating his claims of election fraud in the state.

The L.A. Grand is one of several hotels that participated in Project Roomkey, a program launched during the pandemic as a way to shelter the city’s most vulnerable homeless residents. The federal government originally offered to cover 100% of the costs of Project Roomkey, but reimbursement has been slow so far. The hotel, which had provided the city with about 480 rooms, is expected to give Bass a critical tool as she ramps up the activities of Inside Safe, her initiative to dismantle homeless encampments and bring unhoused people indoors. A 13-story hotel that has served as a cornerstone of Los Angeles’ fight against homelessness, a facility that had been set to cease operations in less than three weeks, will be kept open for an additional year, city officials said Friday.

The county certified its election results only after a court ordered it to do so. As the Republican electors sent illegitimate certifications to Washington, Trump sought to put pressure on Maricopa County officials and other Arizona Republicans, including then-state House Speaker Rusty Bowers and then-Gov. PCSO said that a two year old was transported to a hospital and later pronounced dead, while a second child was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

A Warren County grand jury has indicted a man accused of burning down his house and dousing his girlfriend in gasoline. Joshua House will have its virtual Grand Opening called “A Promise Kept” on Thursday, June 24, 2021 at 6pm PST on Zoom. He met with Councilmember Kevin de León, who spoke about the issue at the meeting and toured the school that night. Hammond said the episode left students afraid and him at a loss for how to protect the teens. On Jan. 12, Hammond and more than a dozen students went to a City Council meeting to speak about the problems.

Another passage of the indictment appears to describe attorney Kenneth Chesebro, one of the planners of the alleged scheme, as an unindicted coconspirator. Chesebro pleaded guilty last year in Georgia to conspiracy charges brought against him, Trump and 17 other people in the state. He is also believed to be one of the unidentified co-conspirators special counsel Jack Smith described in his federal election interference indictment of Trump last year. The state Republican Party documented the signing of the certificate in a social media post and sent it to Congress and the National Archives. “These aspects of HB 66, are designed to address that public health crisis and hopefully create some additional deterrence for these types of offenses, and recognize that … we have a crisis on our hands, and it seems to be getting worse,” Kemp said Monday.
