L.A. school district reaches $88-million settlement in sex misconduct cases 
The Los Angeles school district will pay $88 million to settle sexual abuse cases at two elementary schools where complaints about the teachers’ behavior had surfaced long before their arrest, officials confirmed Monday. The settlement with 30 children and their families, finalized over the weekend, is the second-largest in district history and brings a dark chapter to an apparent close. Los Angeles Times
