In looming elections affecting L.A. schools, powerful unions are opponents in one, allies in another. That's just the start of a strange money trail.
Philanthropist Eli Broad, pictured in 2009, says his actions on two pivotal elections affecting L.A. schools are consistent.
Parties warring over the board seat agree, Rogers said, that “Los Angeles schools are underfunded relative to the nation and relative to what L.A. students need.” They are finding “common cause” over Measure EE. Charters are privately operated and compete with district-run schools for students. With overall enrollment dropping, the strain is showing on the district budget, with spending outpacing revenue, according to officials. Moreover, most charters are non-union, which would suggest a natural alliance between teachers and Local 99.Local 99 is going with Heather Repenning, a district parent who resigned from a seat on the city’s public works commission to run for office.
Until this race, charter backers had been the biggest spenders in L.A. school board elections, far surpassing even the teachers union. Instead, the negative ads against Goldberg are being disseminated by New York-based Students for Education Reform Action Network, which is associated with donors who support charter schools.In the March primary, Goldberg finished far ahead in a crowded field but failed to claim a majority, which would have won the seat outright. Repenning could win on Tuesday if she’s able to consolidate the voters who did not support Goldberg in the first round.
