In addition to Vine St, Westside Global, and Kentwood EEC, it was great to visit Hancock Park ES, Cheremoya ES, STEM Academy, Bernstein HS, and speak at the African American Parent Engagement Summit at Taft High! I was also thrilled to congratulate our talented ACADECA students participating at Hollywood High and cheer on some of our BD4 competitors at the Primetime Sports soccer championship!

What happens in Vegas can't stay in Vegas—when it comes to voting—because early voting starts this Saturday in Los Angeles, too! In honor of this past Presidents’ Day holiday, I want to quote Barack Obama: “Don’t boo—vote.” I ran for School Board to give all students the chance to succeed, no matter what zip code they come from or how much money their family has. One way to expand opportunities for all kids is to expand civic engagement and make it easier for people to take part in the democratic process. That’s why LAUSD has partnered with the state, county, and city of Los Angeles to hold voter registration drives, educate folks on different ways to get involved in civic efforts, and set up new, multi-day voting centers at some of our schools. Elections matter—and your voice matters, too.
I am grateful that this settlement takes a step in the right direction and amplifies our call on Sacramento to take the lead and drive us towards a future where every child is entitled to the skills necessary to thrive in our society.
