Los Angeles school officials have locked in $100 million a year for a controversial program for black students — despite an ongoing federal civil-rights investigation into whether it illegally favors students based on race. The Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education approved a resolution Tuesday to preserve $100 million in annual funding for its Black Student Achievement Plan (BSAP) for both the 2027-28 and 2028-29 school years, shielding the program from deeper cuts as the district grapples with a multibillion-dollar budget deficit. The decision comes as the US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights probes allegations that the program discriminates against non-black students by directing resources and services based on race.
