Stand with us on Wednesday
On July 1st, parents from throughout Los Angeles are going to the first LAUSD School Board meeting of their new term. We will announce two things. First, that over half the parents of the Venice and East LA communities have signed our petition demanding change. And we will tell them in no uncertain terms that parents- from Venice, East LA, and everywhere else- will not and cannot wait another moment for LAUSD to fix our schools. We will demand great schools NOW- rooted in whats best for our children (not bureaucrats or special interests)- or we will take our children and leave for new high-quality, non-profit charter schools in our neighborhood.
Come stand with us and make your voice heard. LAUSD can
ignore one or two of us. But they cannot ignore hundreds of parents,
standing in front of them, simply asking for the best for their
children. You can RSVP by clicking here.
What: Tell the School board: Fix our schools now!
When: Wednesday, July 1st, 9am
Where: LAUSD Headquarters- 333 S Beaudry Ave, Los Angeles CA 90017
The latest round of budget cuts are horrendous, and we stand with the
parents and teachers who have been bravely speaking out against them.
Eliminating summer school, full day kindergarten, and arts and music
programs will irreparably harm our schools. It is important to
remember, however, that we all know that our schools have been broken
since long before this round of budget cuts. 50% of students weren't
graduating high school before the budget cuts. Only 11% were making it
to college before the budget cuts. Our school system has a systemic,
constant problem- it just isn't designed to serve children. We are
demanding serious, common-sense reforms for our schools and our
children.
