This week – on Tuesday, February 12 – the parents of 24th Street Elementary School in Los Angeles achieved an unprecedented victory.
The Los Angeles Unified School District Board voted unanimously to accept the parent’s petition to put into action a “restart model” for their children’s chronically failing school.
The LAUSD Board vote was not only unanimous, it was so uncontroversial that they put it on their "consent calendar" – one giant list of uncontroversial items the Board approves as a group with one easy vote. It was unprecedented – and it was historic.
