Measure E was supported by more than half of voters during Tuesday's election, but it required a two-thirds majority vote to pass. "If Measure E required a simple majority to pass, we would be celebrating right now,'' LAUSD Board of Education President Monica Garcia and and board member Steve Zimmer said in a joint statement. "The two-thirds requirement, however, proved too high of a threshold in such uncertain economic times. "LAUSD students did not create our budget crisis and they cannot afford to be its victims,'' according to the statement. "That's why we woke up early this morning, rolled up our sleeves and began the work on new fronts to generate revenue for LAUSD.''
