2022 LAUSD Elections
Dr. Rocio Rivas: Removing Barriers For Children With Special Education Needs
LAUSD Board District 2 candidate Rocio Rivas shows empathy and understanding for the needs of students with moderate to severe disabilities.
This is the sixth in a series on serving students with severe special education needs. Please read the first part for an introduction to the issue.
“There should be absolutely zero stigmas in regards to special day classes and special education centers.”
- Board District 2 Candidate Dr. Rocio Rivas
In a district that is increasingly hostile to families who have children with special education needs, parents in LAUSD Board District 2 have a particularly difficult time. Since 2006 they have been represented by Monica Garcia, who holds children with disabilities with such little regard that she considers them separate from “our own kids.” Many of these parents are looking forward to waking up on November 9, 2022, and finding out who will replace Garcia, who is being forced from office due to term limits.
