DescriptionThe cash-strapped Los Angeles Unified School District is considering raising funds by turning to corporate sponsors—but parents shouldn't expect ads from tobacco or alcohol companies.

The Daily Breeze reported Sunday the plan could raise $18 million a year. The money would go directly to athletic programs and extracurricular activities that are likely to be victims of budget cuts.

Under the new rules, selected companies would be able to place logos on everything from sports fields to cafeterias.
