Abstract	Mr. Barr, a Democratic political organizer who turned charter school mogul, has waged a contentious, two-year campaign to persuade leaders in the nation's second-largest school system to let him run one or more troubled high schools. Mr. Barr, with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, set to assume some control of the district on Jan. 1, 2007, where he may get the opening he's been seeking to bring his brand of reform to some of the city's huge, struggling high schools. In this article it is stated that a new state law will vest Mr. Villaraigosa with the power to directly control a cluster of three low-performing high schools and the middle and elementary schools that send them students.
