2022 LAUSD ELECTIONS
An Ethically Challenged School Board
LAUSD School Board President Kelly Gonez voted to approve a contract with a former employer. She then accepted a campaign donation from them.
“We know that our competitive bidding is considered best practice in most cases.”
- Kelly Gonez
Like a hacker using spyware, education “reformers” have figured out that the best way to infiltrate a system is to embed themselves within the system. By using the incentive of paying a portion of an employee’s salary, these organizations have filled positions within the LAUSD with people that they have selected. This allows them to strategically place people in positions of power within the district who will be loyal to their goals. The needs of the district’s students become secondary.
