"In comments that go far beyond anything previously discussed by the board orpublic health officials,[Los Angeles Board of Education President Genethia Hayes] said the 711,000-student district may have to bus more students out of the crowded downtown area, or come up with creative solutions such as converting office space to classrooms.
