Starting next month, the K-12 complex will house 4,200 students on the site of the former Ambassador Hotel where the Democratic presidential nominee was assassinated in 1968.
The campus is LA's third high-priced school in as many years following a national trend of so-called Taj Mahal schools, $100 million-plus campuses that boast both architectural panache and deluxe amenities.
The pricey schools have come during a sensitive period when the nation's second-largest school system is struggling to close a $640 million budget deficit. Some parents say education should come before fancy buildings.
