We would like to sincerely thank the voters of Culver City for overwhelmingly passing Measure AA. The idea around citizen’s initiative was first brought to us more than a year ago by community leader Darrel Menthe. From there a fantastic steering committee known as Excellence For Culver City Schools was born. An all volunteer effort collected more than 4,000 signatures to place the measure on the ballot and that same group of volunteers ran an outstanding political campaign to ensure its passage. Measure AA will give us much needed funding and has an accountability feature that we have never seen before with an advisory/oversight committee meeting before money is spent.

Thank you to every Culver City educator, staff member, local politician, political club, labor organization and community member who was part of this effort! Thank you so much!

Thank you Culver City voters for making two of our educator endorsed candidates Stephanie Loredo and Brian Guerrero the top two vote getters in their re-election campaign for school board. We also wanted to thank our other educator endorsed candidate Darrel Menthe for putting himself out there and running for school board. We also would like to congratulate Triston Ezidore for his strong campaign and re-election to school board.

A big shout out and thank you to Culver City and statewide voters for passing Prop 3 and electing Richard Barrera. We also appreciate the time Mr. Barrrera took to meet with CFT local leaders! Barrera has dedicated his life to strengthening our schools, fighting for students, and standing with educators.

Thank you!!

As more of the local vote is counted, we will have much more to come about the election in the next few days

Here is a great commentary piece from
EdSource. School Board elections should be about governance and not personalities or number of endorsements.

Do candidates understand what it takes to govern a district effectively, hold its leaders accountable and create the conditions in which students and school leadership can succeed? What is the difference between governing and managing?

When school communities perceive leadership failure, sometimes they demand a new superintendent. But replacing a leader without examining the board’s own conduct can perpetuate the same problems. Board candidates must demonstrate that they understand governance, student achievement, fiscal respons...
