History
According to the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education Records, as a result of the school unification election
of June 7, 1960, the LAUSD formed on July 1, 1961 from the Los Angeles City School District and the Los Angeles City High
School District. The District encompasses approximately 710 square miles, includes virtually all of the City of Los Angeles,
many other cities and several unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. The LAUSD is the largest public school system in
California based on pupil enrollment and the second largest public school district in the United States. For more information,
see the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education records (Collection 1923).
Scope and Content

Some schools included are no longer part of the LAUSD and some schools now operate under different names.
