Endorsement: Scott Schmerelson and Tanya Ortiz Franklin for L.A. Unified school board (via latimesopinion)
The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed how schools locally and across the nation carry out their mission, but when it comes down to Los Angeles Unified school board elections, things look the same as they have for a long time: It’s the pro-reform group that favors charter schools versus the allies of United Teachers Los Angeles.
Those issues look small, now that the pandemic has turned public education on its ear. The antiracist movement is having its own profound effects, as it should. Juggling priorities in the nation’s second-largest school district, with students struggling under remote learning, schools burdened by high COVID-related expenses, and teachers fearful of returning to physical classrooms, isn’t a task for the uninitiated. It requires ideas, a strong sense of L.A.
Koziatek is a parent and community outreach manager for Granada Hills Charter School. Her main interest is in bringing the practices that work at Granada Hills to the district at large. That’s an understandable approach but a naïve one that doesn’t take into account the differences between that school and most others in the district. Methods that work in one school have generally not transplanted all that successfully.
The top vote-getters in the primary were Patricia Castellanos, economic development deputy for L.A. County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, and Tanya Ortiz Franklin, a former teacher laid off during the recession, now senior director at the Partnership for L.A. Schools, a nonprofit that runs 19 schools within L.A. Unified under an agreement with the district.
