LW Democrats continue to follow the impending reorganization of the way
trustees are to be elected to the Los Alamitos Unified School District Board of Trustees, as well as the role and history of charter schools in California.
Proposed changes in the method of voting for Los Alamitos Unified School District Trustees are being instigated in order to be in compliance with the California Voting Rights Act. A major question yet to be resolved is whether or not all of Leisure World will be included in a single voting area or divided amongst three or four other areas when it comes to voting for trustees in the November 2020 General Election.
Assembly bill 1505, recently signed into law by Gov. Newsom, gives pubic school districts such as the one which includes Leisure World more authority to reject petitions for new charter campuses, phases in stricter credentialing requirements for charter schoolteachers and places a two-year moratorium on new virtual charter schools.
More information about both of these issues is available on the club’s website.
