The Teachers' Choices - picks from UTLA & CA Teachers Assoc.

Richard Barrera has a proven commitment to working with educators and families as president of the San Diego Unified School District to fight for more school funding and housing affordability to address declining enrollment. The California Superintendent of Public Instruction oversees every school system in the state and manages the distribution of state funding to local school districts. We need a state superintendent who will work with us on real budget solutions, not cuts to staffing and student programs to balance the budget.

Marissa Roy has a track record of standing up to big corporations and the Trump administration to protect families, immigrants, and workers. She is the candidate who will stand with us to keep families in LA, protect public schools, and hold corporations like Lineage Logistics accountable. The City Attorney is an elected position to serve as the city’s lawyer with the power to take on big corporations and enforce the laws that protect working families — like protecting communities from industrial pollution, workers from wage theft, and tenants from bad landlords.

If Prop 3 isn’t passed this year, LAUSD could stand to lose close to $839 million a year. One in six California educators could lose their jobs. We have endorsed YES on Prop 3 to fight back potential losses to public education funding. Joining educators up and down California to support Prop 3 is the first step to protecting the funding we have and setting up to fight for more.
