LAUSD Candidate Karla Griego on Inclusion and Diversity
If elected to the LAUSD School Board, how would she address the issues of Anti-Semitism, homophobia, and Black Student Achievement?
“There should be no co-locations on LAUSD campuses.”
– LAUSD Candidate Karla Griego
After Graciela “Grace” Ortiz was sued by a student who claimed the candidate had not done enough to protect her from a sexual assault at gunpoint, there was a shift in the momentum in the race to replace the retiring Jackie Goldberg as the BD5 representative on the LAUSD School Board. This allowed teacher/parent Karla Griego to beat the Charter School industry’s candidate by 5,220 votes. However, since Griego did not win more than 50% of the votes, she will face Ortiz in November’s general election.
One difference between the candidates is Griego’s willingness to answer questions about her viewpoints. Griego responded to questions about Special Education, PROP-39 Co-Locations, Student Safety, and The Budget in the months leading to the primary election. Ortiz did not answer any.
