I will be voting for Scott. It is not just my worries about more privatizing proponents on the school board, which his opponent represents, it is because School Schmerleson has been an excellent crusader for our public schools, and a staunch supporter of the parents and students in this area.
Scott Schmerelson – not school. This newer version of Facebook is driving me crazy!
“While the parents whose children attend Granada [Charter] will get to vote in November to decide who will represent LAUSD public school students on the district’s board, they do not have the same right at the school their own children attend.”
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This is a must read. The past and present actions of Schmerelson’s dirty opponent and her enablers are terribly agitating.
