Two great forums so far this week and two more to go! If you missed the SELA Dems or Friend’s of Mt. Washington Forum you can still join us at another event we have coming up! https://www.allisonforallkids.org/calendar #AllisonForAllKids
SO excited to announce that I have been endorsed by SFER Action Network - LA! From SFER: After an extensive search by student leaders in LA, SFER Action Network - Los Angeles has endorsed education justice champion Allison Bajracharya for LAUSD school board! Bajracharya has a proven track record of success as a long time educator at Camino Nuevo -- a school that's predominantly students of color and English language learners -- where a projected 9/10 students will be accepted into college by 2022. She's fighting to bring excellence, equity and innovation to every school in LAUSD, and that's a fight we can get down with 💯 Stay tuned for all the latest in Allison for LAUSD School Board's race!
We had a great weekend knocking doors and talking to voters! Come join us this Saturday and Sunday to join the movement!
Day 5: the sunshine and solidarity bring hope! #AllisonForAllKids
Just visited our teachers on the picket line for the 4th day in a row to show support. I have incredible respect for the sacrifices they’re continuing to make. Our students are losing out though. I hope today is the day where our district, school board, and union leaders prioritize getting in a room. Prioritize kids first, show teachers they are valued, go to Sacramento together to advocate for more funding, and get it done. There is too much at stake not to.
Absentee voting is less than a month away! LAUSD doesn’t have a single parent of school age children on the board. We need a parent perspective and a board member who will put kids first!

Commentary: We need a resolution — our kids need us to build bridges, not walls, in L.A.

If LAUSD teachers go out on strike, thousands of Los Angeles students will lose days or weeks (or more) of learning time, and local public schools will lose millions of dollars in funding. But that’s not all; a strike will also produce immense anxiety among teachers worried about the fate of students they’re committed to serving, and among parents forced to choose between crossing picket lines or staying home from work in order to take care of their kids.

I don't just want the best for my kids—I want the best for all of our kids.

I started my career as a teacher at a high school in New Orleans.  My class had 50 students on the roster, but on any given day only 25 students would attend my class.   That was the norm-- and no one was fighting to change it. I decided then to dedicate my career to making change for students and families.   Since then I have worked to raise expectations for all students and to expand the number of excellent public schools in every community.

Mother

It is essential to have someone on the board who is walking in the shoes of a half million families every day. Allison’s children attend their local LAUSD elementary school. Allison would be the only board member who is a parent of school-age children. As a mother, she is connected to what is happening in LAUSD schools from homework to school safety.

Educator

Allison Bajracharya understands education. She has spent her career dedicated to families and schools. She began as a teacher in a New Orleans public high school and now serves as a leader for a charter school network in Los Angeles. In between, she served on the team of LAUSD board member Marlene Canter, worked for Teach for America, and supported families and students through her work at the California Charter School Association (CCSA).

Advocate

At a time when LAUSD is facing serious fiscal challenges, teachers are poised to strike, and the vast majority of students are not reading or doing math at grade level, students, families and teachers need an advocate for change. Allison Bajracharya has the experience and knowledge to stand up for our students, families, and teachers. At CCSA, Allison led efforts to expand the number of special education students served by charter schools, she increased parent voice, and she pushed to close charter schools that were not performing well. Students and families deserve schools that serve all students well.
