School District Violated Labor Code By Rejecting Applicants Based On Expunged Misdemeanor Convictions

A.S. v. Los Angeles Unified Sch. Dist. , 123 Cal. App. 5 th 519 (2026) Two applicants for employment with the Los Angeles Unified School District (one for a part-time after-school program position and the other for a legal secretary position) were rejected based on their prior misdemeanor convictions (for battery and grand theft, respectively), both of which had been expunged pursuant to Cal. Penal Code § 1203.4. The District contended that its duty to protect students required it to screen out applicants with nearly any criminal conviction, notwithstanding expungement. The trial courts in the two separate actions granted summary judgment to the applicants, and the Court of Appeal affirmed in this consolidated appeal, holding that the District violated Cal. Lab. Code § 432.7, which prohibits employers from asking about or utilizing expunged convictions. The Court further held that the statutory exceptions upon which the District relied did not apply because no law required the District to obtain information about, or prohibited it from hiring individuals with, the particular misdemeanor convictions at issue (misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor grand theft).

Numbers that Matter: Indiana vs.USC

It’s one of football’s oldest truths: when the final whistle sounds, the scoreboard tells you who won, but the numbers often tell you why. A team may rack up more yards and still walk away with a loss, only for the turnover margin to reveal the difference. Another may control the ball, dominate time of possession, and quietly squeeze the life out of a comeback attempt. Whether it’s field position, third-down efficiency, explosive plays, or costly mistakes, the box score often uncovers the story beneath the result. In a game decided by inches, the numbers have a way of explaining what the eye test alone cannot.

La Crescenta residents cite fire evacuation concerns in battle against affordable housing project

Concerned residents and La Crescenta city leaders are urging Los Angeles County to take another look at a proposed five-story affordable housing site. They say Briggs Avenue and Foothill Boulevard offer only one way out, and with the proposed development, there would be a dangerous evacuation bottleneck and no safe way to escape danger. The neighborhood is in an area designated as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by the state fire marshal. The proposed five-story apartment complex would replace an 80-year-old motel at the corner of Briggs Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. The development would include 66 units and potentially house hundreds of residents. Tatyana Esmaelian, a La Crescenta resident, said the location could create serious problems during a wildfire evacuation. “I see this as a disaster happening, where it’s a repeat of Palisades Fire meets Eaton Fire, where people will get gridlocked to come out,” Esmaelian said. Residents say the intersection is already a potential evacuation choke point. Above the proposed development are already hundreds of homes, with Briggs Avenue serving as a primary evacuation route. Chris Kilpatrick of the Crescenta Valley Town Council called the proposed location particularly problematic. “This is probably the worst place in the
