LAUSD Installs Board Leadership for the New Year
At the Los Angeles Unified School District’s (LAUSD) annual meeting on December 12, the Board of Education nominated and voted in the Board President and Vice President for the coming year. Ultimately, Jackie Goldberg will serve as Board President and Scott Schmerelson will serve as Vice President as well as holding the role of Chair of the Committee of the Whole. This will be Goldberg’s final year in office, having previously announced her retirement this past summer from the LAUSD Board of Education by the end of her term in 2024.
ENDORSEMENTS: Lieberman, Mignano, Rouse, and Tahvildaran-Jesswein for Santa Monica-Malibu Schools
School Districts and their School Boards became real punching bags during the heart of the COVID pandemic, none likely more so than that governing Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD). But using the best science they were given (and it would change at times!), and despite some clear academic and socializing deficits that have clearly resulted from students being home, I feel the district and its board have done comparatively well, and have continued to strive for improvement in student achievement and opportunity. Therefore, we believe Laurie Lieberman and Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein deserve re-election for another term. We would like to see them joined by district parents Alicia Mignano and Stacy Rouse.
