Board Representative Vacancy for LAUSD Board District 5
|
|
On March 5, 2019, a special election will be held to elect the next school board representative for Board District 5. LAUSD board members establish policy, processes, and practices that directly impact your school and student(s). LAUSD Board Members also vote on critical decisions around LAUSD’s $7.5 billion budget. This upcoming election will have a real and direct impact on your school community.
The Alliance for a Better Community (ABC) and the United Way of Greater Los Angeles (UWGLA) are working together to uplift the voices of students and parents during the upcoming LAUSD Board District 5 (BD5) school board election, which includes the areas served by your neighborhood council. ABC and UWGLA have developed a survey that will provide a clearer picture of the issues that matter most to Board District 5 families. Data from the survey will then be used to create questions and comments for Board District 5 candidates to respond to during a candidate forum that will be held in the northeast part of Board District 5 on February 13, 2018 in the evening (location TBD).
